For the latter portion, one could instead just do:

<blockquote itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0";
item-who="#United_Nations">

I'm confused by your examples. What extractable statement are you trying to
markup with microdata here? Is it: "the United Nations is in New York"?

That was one part, but I was mostly focusing on the quotation indicating that it was by the United Nations (which is an organization in New York). It is using a special attribute (in this case "item-who") rather than defining a (hidden) property-value child element (with itemprop="who").
