Should the United Nations headquarters move to Africa?

Video Description

The United Nations is moving three of its major agencies to Nairobi in Kenya as part of reforms to mark its 80th anniversary and there have been calls for the headquarters to relocate from New York City to elsewhere. The UN already has other hubs in Western cities such as Geneva and Vienna. For this year's UNGA, Palestinian delegates had their visas revoked including its Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas. So, is it now time to move the entire headquarters away from the United States?
