Non-Violence, Bronze sculpture series at United Nations Headquarters, US
The Non-Violence sculpture displays a Colt Python revolver with its barrel tied in a knot, symbolizing the prevention of firearm violence.
Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd created the first Non-Violence sculpture in 1985 following the death of John Lennon, later installing it at the UN.
The sculpture serves as a central symbol for The Non-Violence Project Foundation, which implements educational programs about violence prevention across multiple countries.
Visitors can observe the bronze sculpture at the visitor entrance of the United Nations Headquarters in New York City throughout the year.
Luxembourg's government purchased and donated the original sculpture to the United Nations, leading to approximately 30 replicas worldwide.
