I like their tension and managing to carry different country's flags at the right time. It reminds me of our school days where we used to organize small programs. :)

It's great to see positive comments on this video. The UN is not a perfect institution, but nothing is, and it represents a truly noble higher ideal of all nations and peoples working together in harmony.
UN is the the ideal that I wish to embodied someday. I will strive to be the best I can be and someday I wish to contribute and help share the vision of a better tomorrow. God bless :)
Is it just me or all the slo-mo and Black Keys made working in the UN seem really rock and roll?

The UN definitly has ways it could improve, but the idea and beliefs behind the peacekeeping origanisation are important and I hope to work there. Globalisation is important. In a time when humans are more connected than ever before, we cannot afford to retreat into the pursuit of our selfish interests, but seek to find solutions to issues that benefit us all. 🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you United Nations 🇺🇳 It’s about time you SHOWED UP and explain to people what it is exactly that you do and are therefore. You were beginning to look like the Human Rights Organization that ignores cries for help of BLACK WOMEN. We can’t have organizations that discriminate against colour and gender being funded by earthly citizens.

I didn’t Ban ki-Moon had such supportive supporters. I knew he was generally popular and probably had thousands of admires, but UN-General-Secretary isn’t on the top of the overwhelming majority of people’s admiration list. How many children know who the UN-General-Secretary (Antonio Guterres) is.
