Hi wikusgerber. This is a recovery scam. Recovery scams usually are often used by scammers to re-target a previous victim but some scammers also send these scripts out to many people, probably in hopes that they'll hit upon victims.

As you can see, the scammer is impersonating the UN who is supposedly offering a form or retribution. The continuation of the scam will be the same as advance fee fraud scams. The scammer will ask for fees to process the supposed repayment/compensation.

We have a forum for recovery scam, here: http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14 which includes an informational topic explaining the scam. I will move this thread to that forum after you've had a chance to see my response.
