CC:ENQUIRIES: United Nations' abolishment of Traditional Chinese in 2008

To all viewers (if any):
recently there are rumours on the net regarding the UN decision to abolish/unrecognise traditional chinese and only to recognise only simplified. whilst there are many sites that will vouch so with news snippets or ref. from various sources, a search for an officialy announcement from the UN seems to turn out scarce (my lack of research ability i suppose).

Hence the following enquiry I posted to the UN on their website (screen shot as above, while a copy of it is below) in an attempt for clarify an issue, if proven true then action/petitions can be justified in a better way, otherwise it would save both parties time and put many worries to rest.

Could the UN or any of its revelant departments respond to the following?

Recently (since 2006) there have been rumours on the internet regarding UN's decision to officially recognise only the written simplified chinese.

Examples can be found at the following:http://www.gopetition.com/region/237/8314.html
a simple search "UN to abolish traditional chinese" reveal these results:http://www.google.com/search?q=UN+abolish+traditional+chinese&rls=com.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GFRD

There are sentiments among chinese worldwide as both traditional and simplified chinese are used as standards in various countries, much like spanish and french in the americas and europe.

The hope of this enquiry is to clarify the issue.
