U.S. probes UN shipments of high-tech gear to Iran and NorK
2012-07-08
The United States said on Wednesday it was reviewing a U.N. agency's dealings with Iran and North Korea after documents showed the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) had supplied high-tech equipment to the countries despite the sanctions against them.

The Geneva-based WIPO, a 185-member body that includes Iran, sent 20 Hewlett-Packard Compaq desktop computers to Iranian authorities, according to correspondence between WIPO and the Iranian agency dealing with intellectual property, dated August 2010.

The agency also sent sophisticated computers and data-storage servers to North Korea.
