Verify the 'almost certain' external-attack and withheld-archives quotes against Judge Othman's 2024 Hammarskjöld report itself

claim-hammarskjold-1961-death-external-attack-almost-certain-2024-un-report takes its load-bearing phrases — "almost certain that an external attack or threat was a cause of the crash," "specific, crucial and so far undisclosed information exists in the archives of Member States," and "persuasive evidence" (2015 panel) — from the UN.org article that retells the 2024 report, not from the report document itself.

What to do: locate the primary — the 2024 report of the Eminent Person, Judge Mohamed Chande Othman, submitted to the UN General Assembly (an A/79/… document via the UN Digital Library / undocs.org), plus the 2015 independent panel report — and confirm each quoted phrase verbatim and in context. Confirm specifically that the US and UK are named among the states not responding to archive queries.

Why it matters: the note's whole point turns on the exact hedged wording ("almost certain," not "certain"; "persuasive evidence," not "proof"). UN.org is Tier 1, but it is one layer removed from the report; a verbatim pass against the report PDF would let the note move off seedling. This is the strongest-sourced claim in its capture and worth firming up.
