UN says US visa ban does not affect its employees

The United Nations has received assurances from Washington that its employees from Muslim countries hit by the US visa ban will be able to travel to New York to work at UN headquarters, the spokesman said Monday.


UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric initially told a briefing that there were a handful of staff who were unable to board US-bound flights at the weekend.

The spokesman later clarified that there were no confirmed cases of UN staff member being affected by the new policies.
