#4  I think this may be the hole in the dike that will become a flood. Lawyers make statements like this when they are softening the target up looking for a payout. The UN has no laws and is beyond the juristiction of anybody elses laws. So I'm curious as to where the lawyer thinks he can sue. Any US lawyers out there like to speculate if US labor laws or similar apply in the UN? Bottom line is the propect of a payout will bring out all kinds of past abuses at the UN that previously were hidden because the people had no redress.
