From what I've seen an "interpreter" works with people and often does live interpreting, e.g., in a courtroom. This is a really tough job because you have to both listen to the speaker and translate simultaneously.
On the other hand, a "translator" often works with documents. This is my goal because I'd rather translate documents over a period of time than try to figure out what a person is saying while he is saying it!
I know lots about the U.N.--your question is too broad, amigo.
