There is no difference between meeting the enemy in Paris, or meeting them in NYC:
He sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Kerry quietly seeking to salvage Iran deal he helped craft

Remember when Democrats and their media stooges latched onto the Logan Act in July 2016:
When Donald Trump asked Russian hackers to spy on Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, he shocked the nation. But did he break the law?
Some Democrats think so. Specifically, they're accusing Trump of violating the Logan Act, a centuries-old law aimed at keeping private citizens out of foreign affairs.

XXXXX
And in 2016, when Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stared straight into the cameras at a press conference and said: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."
Democrats think Donald Trump just violated the Logan Act. What is that?

The Logan Act is never enforced. Worse still, the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945 made the crime of treason un-punishable:
In addition to the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945, the sneaks who got this country into the U.N. knew what they were doing when they designed a foundation that was a masterpiece of betrayal. A foundation that would withstand every challenge when their descendants carried on. Treason became legal the minute the U.S. became a member of an underhanded organization that was, and is, determined to tear down America. Membership in the U.N. meant that no American official betraying this country on the U.N.’s behalf could be prosecuted for treason. Only lawyers could design something like that.
A little research will tell you that Democrats and Republicans might have violated the Logan Act over the years. Most of the examples are insignificant with one notable exception. John Kerry’s violation included treason. No one has ever been charged with violating the Logan Act. John Kerry should have been the first:
Worse, Kerry went to Paris in 1971. There, he met with North Vietnamese Communists. We need to see all his notes from those meetings. Any negotiation between a private U.S. citizen and a foreign power is illegal. It violates the Logan Act of 1798. Did Kerry demand of the North Vietnamese Communists that they abide by the Geneva Convention? Or is that only a demand he made of his fellow Americans?
We do not charge Kerry with treason in the statements and actions he engaged in then. Treason consists of giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. But this country has set a very high bar for conviction for treason -- ever since the Burr Treason Trial of 1807. Nonetheless, we do say Kerry's actions and statements then were not those to which America's top diplomat should be linked. What was he thinking?

The Logan Act forbids “unauthorized” Americans from negotiating with foreign governments:
For example, as the nation became well aware during the course of the 2004 election, John Kerry has probably violated the Logan Act before, and possibly other laws that make it a crime to negotiate with enemies of the United States.
The script of the famously hard hitting Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ad on the subject recaps the story better than I could:
Even before Jane Fonda went to Hanoi to meet with the enemy and mock America, John Kerry secretly met with enemy leaders in Paris, though we were still at war and Americans were being held in North Vietnamese prisons camps.
