US President Barack Obama has “recently ordered” the National Security Agency to stop tapping the UN headquarters in New York amid the review of electronic surveillance programs, Reuters reported, citing official sources.

“The United States is not conducting electronic surveillance targeting the United Nations headquarters in New York,” a senior Obama administration official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Another official told the news agency that the decision was made within the last few weeks after the president’s aides said in briefings that the White House no longer wanted to conduct certain monitoring of UN targets.

  

Indeed, I have learned that you have to pay close attention to the wording. No longer conducting “electronic surveillance targeting the United Nations headquarters” leaves open surveillance options, including type, location, and “incidental” collection.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
