Democratic People's Republic of Korea
Permanent Representative of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the United Nations
820 Second Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10017
Telephone: (212) 972-3105/3106/3128, Telefax: (212) 972-3154

In addition to the DPRK, 820 2nd Avenue, branded "Diplomat Centre," houses about a dozen missions to the UN, among them those of Nicaragua (8th Floor), Nepal (Suite 17B), Croatia (19th Floor), Peru (Suite 1600) and Nauru (Suite 400D), some apparently occupying full floors, like the DPRK, others in half-floors and smaller suites. See: http://www.embassyworld.com/embassy/un.htm

During Cryptome's visit on July 8, there was a police vehicle in front of the building which left shortly. No evidence of worry about a nuclear threat being plotted for or against on Floor 13.

Access to the Diplomat Centre lobby was unlimited with a courteous security guard who did not recognize the name of the DPRK but offered a booklet on UN missions to confirm the DPRK address. Across the avenue an angry hard-nut Asian wielding a cellphone like a samarai sword looked as if he wanted to lop the head off the goofus photographing and videotaping Floor 13.

Around the neighborhood, there was fiercely casual security at the UN and high-profile missions: a NYPD cop protecting the UN was giggling on a cellphone, slouched feet up in a hut. The new building for the US mission is under construction, foundation and cellar nearing completion. Eyeing the foundation work and cellar revealed the secret location and design for the situation room to keep high-profit armageddon at the top of the UN menu for down-market peace forever.

Note the unusual number of clunky outriggers are for supporting scaffolding for repair and window washing
as well as the even more unusual caged ladders connecting roofs. It may be that for security the missions do
not allow access for building maintenance and window cleaning. Problem with that is that scaffolding and
ladders are favorite means for spies to burgle and plant bugs in targets.

Another possibilty is that these apparently added-on devices provide means for emergency exit, the customary
code requirements no longer sufficient to assure skittish tenants they will not be hit by their own insurgents or
those of their fellow tenants.

The New US Mission to the UN Under Construction at East 45th Street and 1st Avenue, Photographed Through a Vacant, Unlocked Guard Hut

The New US Mission to the UN Under Construction, Vacant Guard Hut at Lower Right

The stepped structure adjoining the glazed facace is an oddity. It once adjoined the now demolished US mission along
with the box-like low structure at right. It's not clear what they are. Could be the center for UN surveillance.
