The UN General Assembly 2025, the 80th session, is held at the United Nations headquarters located in New York City, along the East River in Manhattan. The General Assembly takes place annually in the General Assembly Building within the UN headquarters complex, which is international territory dedicated to global diplomacy. This session began on September 9, 2025, with the high-level General Debate starting on September 23, 2025, in the General Assembly Hall, which accommodates about 1,800 people. The UN headquarters complex includes the General Assembly Hall, the Secretariat, the Conference Building, and the Dag Hammarskjöld Library. This has been the primary venue for the UNGA since 1952, except for rare occasions when sessions were held elsewhere. The 2025 General Assembly continues the tradition of gathering world leaders and representatives at this New York location to discuss major global issues.
