I think what you are trying to determine is the legal status of the United States. Officially, the land the UN sits on in New York is international territory, just as Washington DC is not a state but is managed by the federal government.
Regardless, as a foreign head of state, Chavez has diplomatic immunity (as head of state, he is also the top diplomat), and as such international law protects his right to go to and leave the UN so that he can perform his duty as a head of state.
Now, both the terrotory question and the ability to come and go in peace are international law, and international law is determined by agreement between countries. So, these laws also allow the United States to travel to say, Geneva, or Vienna where the UN has a large presence in order to do what international statesmen and diplomats do.
