It's a bit more complex with the UN than normal diplomatic immunity (it is not a country after all). A bit of Google tells me that specialists working for the UN have the same protections as UN officials for the purpose of their mandate and the protections of all UN officials are roughly equivalent to that of a "normal" diplomat: "As opposed to United Nations officials, experts on missions for the United Nations, like members of the International Law Commission, Special Rapporteurs, or members of United Nations peacekeeping operations, serve under a temporary and specific mandate. They also enjoy certain functionally limited privileges and immunities pursuant to article VI of the General Convention."[1] The relevant document is "Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies" from 1947[2]. So, as long as the US doesn't intend to break that convention specialists working for the UN probably have immunity in the US too.
