A recent United Nations report detailed North Korea's claim that one of its senior officials received a mysterious package that included a threatening letter, pictures and bottles of alcohol.
A North Korean delegate has claimed that one of his country's senior diplomats was threatened and blackmailed in New York City earlier this year, according to a report published by the United Nations.
"He stated that the package had contained a blackmail letter, two small bottles allegedly containing alcohol, and three pictures of a parking garage used by the senior official, which was marked with an X in chalk," the report continued."He stated that the letter had contained a demand addressed to the senior official that he cooperate with a certain organization through a secret contact, failing which his personal security would be at risk.
Failure to conduct a"prompt investigation" to"hunt down the criminals and bring them to justice," the official charged, would amount to violations of the 1947 Headquarters Agreement that granted New York City hosting status and the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations that affords special protections to diplomats in foreign countries. Both treaties have been signed and ratified by Pyongyang and Washington.
