A U.N. security guard was reprimanded after he was found drawing swastikas on his report log. This log was later seen by another security guard from Israel.

That's... special.

I wonder if these folks have to have a NY Guard Card, if they're regulated under US or UN law, and what authority they have on UN property.

Interesting. They base their model off of diplomatic security services, but have no authority. Is UN property considered the property of the member nation? Ie: If something happens at the UN Building, are you going to jail via NYPD?

Interesting, they are armed, it seems, and require to have armed guard licenses from NY State. (Host Country)
