According to laws of which country? Problem is, most of UN presence in Internet is extraterritorial. This is very important for the UN to maintain its authority and not necessarily comply with local laws (e.g. UN agencies in Europe do not comply with GDPR). At the same time, the UN has no possibility to create laws and prosecution of its own, beyond administrative and HR rules. So the side effect of extraterritoriality is that there may be no law that you are breaking when attacking the UN, unless you are unlucky enough to do it from a country where laws allow authorities to prosecute attacks _from_ its territory regardless of the location of the target.
