Remember Mad Magazine and the Spy VS Spy cartoon?
NSA first breached the UN system in the summer of 2012 and, within three weeks of initially gaining access to the UN system, the NSA had increased the number of such decrypted communications from 12 to 458.
On one occasion, according to the report, while the American NSA were attempting to break into UN communications, they discovered the Chinese were attempting to crack the encryption code as well."
Ok...before anyone thinks this is a big deal let's look at it from another angle point shall we?
"Well after some searching I found this for the year 2009:
http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=ST/ADM/SER.B/755 [un.org]
In one year the United States contributed $598,292,101 to a UN budget of $2,498,618,698 which comes to 22% of the entire budget.
On the other hand, some sources like here [heritage.org] explain that the funding is actually pretty complicated, as various departments of the federal government all contribute individually to various departments of the UN, up to as much as "$5.327 billion in 2005".
I'm not sure what the actual true percentage of UN funding is that comes from the US, but the fact remains that they aren't going to do anything substantial regardless of anything the US does.

And of course there is the angle point of the renown hospitality of Manhattan NY U.S.A. , also the hotels surrounding Central Park and the fine Metropolitan opera house and the fine dining restaurants along with 5th Avenue's fine clothing stores etc that all of the UN delegates enjoy so much along with the black limos and body guards.
I don't think anyone is going to be rocking this boat.
And there is the fact that the UN is situated on/in the U.S.A.
Just good old friends...Spy vs Spy?
