Ban's
Adviser Han
Seung-Soo With
UN Bank
StanChart,
Ban's Spox
Claims Bullied
By Matthew

Exclusive
Series
UNITED
NATIONS,
August 11 --
UN Secretary
General Ban
Ki-moon's
“Special Envoy
For Disaster
Risk Reduction
and Water” Han
Seung-Soo is listed
on the board
of directors
of South
Korean firm
Doosan
Infracore
- which has
done business
with the UN.
As Inner City
Press first
reported and
asked about on
August 11, Han
Seung-soo is on
the board of
directors of
Standard
Chartered bank,
awarded the
UN's master
banking
services
contract (see
this
UN document,
at Paragraph
50), and a
brokerage
contract (UN
Procurement
website, here).
When Inner
City Press
asked about
this and how
many OTHER
board Han is
on that do
business with
the UN, Ban's
spokesman
Farhan Haq cut
off the
questions and
claimed Inner
City Press was
“bullying”
him. To this
has Ban's UN
sunk.
Haq in his
opening to the
August 11 noon
briefing tried
to defend Han,
and Ban's
Ethics Office.
But when asked
how the Ethics
Office could
allow a UN
official to be
on the board
of a company
awarded the
UN's banking
contract, Haq
tried to call
on one of the
few other
journalists at
the briefing.
Ban
Ki-moon,
meanwhile, has
been cavorting
in Los Angeles,
in controversial
company (see
here, about
Ban's host.)
But the Han
Seung-soo
controversy,
despite Ban's
spokesman's
attempt to
cover it up
with false
charges, is
not going
anywhere.

Ban's UN: see

Corruption in

Ki-moon, John
Ashe and Ng Lap Seng, Yemen."
