I heard about this on Saturday, and have been monitoring the site occasionally, thinking it likely to come back. But, we're going on day 3 now, so IMHO, appropriate to bring to FR attention.

Web site www.un.org says this:

This site is currently unavailable due to a scheduled maintenance. We understand this may cause some inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we implement improvements.

It is the entire URL, going for other UN pages gives a 404 error.

Searching for ANY news on this comes up dry. The only thing I've found so far is old, but perhaps noteworthy:

‘Anonymous’ Hacktivists Attack and Take Down United Nations Website

Also of note, the UN FB/Instagram pages are still up and active.

Seems to me very odd for the UN site to be down even 1 day without some news somewhere on it. Site says "scheduled" maintenance, so one might expect some news story in advance warning that it would be down. I checked 3 web search platforms (google, yandex, DDG).

Not sure what yet to make of this, however, this may be the beginnings of something that the FR community has been rooting for since inception.

They may be implementing something in relation to Klaus Schwab.

un.org is up for me, but they have the alignment of the language boxes off by one. Choosing English brings up the French homepage.

You have to choose the language above English to be redirected to the English page.

Just checked. It’s up for me.
