N.Y. State Law § 59-l: Governor may cede jurisdiction

§ 59-l. Governor may cede jurisdiction. The governor of New York

state, upon application by the United Nations, is authorized, to execute

in duplicate, in the name of the state and under its great seal, a deed

or release of the state ceding jurisdiction, to such extent and on such

conditions as he may deem proper, of any land in the state acquired by

the United Nations. Jurisdiction may be ceded directly to the United

Nations or to the United States of America for the use and benefit of

the United Nations. The application shall describe the land by metes and

bounds and have endorsed thereon or annexed thereto the certificate of

the attorney-general of this state that the United Nations is in

possession of such land under full and complete title. The jurisdiction

hereby authorized to be ceded shall continue with respect to such land

as long as such land shall remain the property of the United Nations and

be used exclusively for the purpose of establishing and maintaining

thereon headquarters for offices and for places of assembly for carrying

on the functions of the United Nations, and no longer.
