U.N. diplomats' NYC parking fines near $18 million, despite crackdown

The new U.N. secretary-general expressed support for New York City's goal of recouping nearly $18 million in traffic fines owed by U.N. diplomats and members of the consular community.

Most of that debt came prior to a city crackdown four years ago on envoys who routinely were cited for illegal parking on city streets but rarely paid because of diplomatic immunity.
