Ex-N Korea Envoy 'Broke UN Rules'

BBC NEWS | Americas | Ex-N Korea envoy 'broke UN rules'
Well this big - let's forget the nuclear issues; failure of North Korea to answer and follow UN nuclear guidelines or refusal to participate in the talks -- this is much bigger, give me a break.
The UN's former North Korea envoy, who is being investigated over the Iraq oil-for-food scandal, employed a relative in breach of UN staff rules.
A UN spokesman said Canadian Maurice Strong recruited stepdaughter Christina Mayo to work for him in February 2003.
The violation was discovered during an examination of Mr Strong's employment file as part of the UN's oil-for-food programme inquiry.
