UN Headquarters to Light Up as Red AIDS Ribbon this WeekendJune 21, 2001 As a dramatic visual curtain-raiser to the three-day General Assembly special session on HIV/AIDS, the UN secretariat building will light up this weekend in the form of a huge red AIDS ribbon. "If a picture is worth a thousand words, this symbolic gesture will send a strong message of United Nations commitment to the battle against HIV/AIDS, and will focus international attention on the special session," the organization said in a statement Wednesday. The image of the ribbon will be formed by covering 550 windows with red plastic film, then leaving the office lights on.
