On
Haiti UN Bemoans Lack of
Accountability After Guterres
Paid Nothing for Bring Cholera

UN
GATE, Jan 19 -- In
Haiti where
the UN brought
cholera
killing more
than 10,000
people without
paying a
penny,
ghoulishly on
Oct 20 Antonio
Guterres'
invisible
Moonie rep
issued a
statement as Guterres
had the Press
roughed up and
banned
now for 931
days and
counting.
Now
on January 18,
shameless, the
UN has bragged
about it "a
report by the
Human Rights
Service of the
UN Integrated
Office in
Haiti and the
UN Human
Rights Office,
which was
released a few
hours ago. The
report shows a
pattern of
human rights
violations and
abuses
followed by
near lack of
accountability"
-- lack of
accountability?
After the UN
under Guterres
has paid not a
penny for
killing people
in Haiti with
the cholera
that UN
Peacekeeping
brought? There
should be no
second term
for Guterres.
On
December 30,
while Guterres
had flown to
Portugal for
vacation
thumbing his
nose at New
York health
rules and
guidance on
COVID-19, the
UN announces,
in French
only, that
Sheeran is
quitting, with
no one paid
any
recompense.
Translated:
"On December
31, 2020, the
mandate of
Special Envoy
for Haiti,
Josette
Sheeran, will
end. The
Secretary
General is
grateful...
Cholera will
be officially
declared
eradicated in
Haiti after
three
consecutive
years without
a confirmed
case, in
accordance
with
international
standards of
the World
Health
Organization."
While Guterres
violates WHO
guidance and
WHO won't
answer.
Guterres made
this
misleading
statement at a
Haiti
memorial:
"Among the
many
challenges,
the United
Nations deeply
regrets the
loss of life
and suffering
caused by the
cholera
epidemic. I
welcome the
significant
progress that
has been made
towards
eliminating
the disease.
We are also
committed to
resolving
pending cases
of sexual
exploitation
and abuse."
Guterres uses
the word
regret
reflexively;
it is not a
coming clean,
much less one
with any
integrity. He
says he is
"resolving"
sex abuse
cases while he
and Stephane
Dujarric and
Melissa
Fleming cover
up all
if-asked
information
about the
accelerating
UN rapes under
his
"leadership."
Guterres is a
fraud, a
censoring
fraud. We'll
have more on
this.
On December 18
banned Inner
City Press in
writing asked
Guterres and
his
spokespeople
Stephane
Dujarric and
Melissa
Fleming, "on
UN sexual
exploitation,
what are the
belated
comments and
actions if any
of SG Guterres
on the study
that
interviewed
approximately
2,500 Haitians
about the
experiences of
local women
and girls
living in
communities
that host
peace support
operations. Of
those, 265
told stories
that featured
children
fathered by UN
personnel.
That 10% of
those
interviewed
mentioned such
children
highlights
just how
common such
stories really
are. The
narratives
reveal how
girls as young
as 11 were
sexually
abused and
impregnated by
peacekeepers
and then, as
one man put
it, “left in
misery” to
raise their
children
alone, often
because the
fathers are
repatriated
once the
pregnancy
becomes known.
Mothers such
as Marie are
then left to
raise the
children in
settings of
extreme
poverty and
disadvantage,
with most
receiving no
assistance."
Guterres,
Fleming,
Dujarric and
now Farhan Haq
are refusing
to answer
questions
about current
UN sexual
abuse cases.
They are
covering up,
and they are
complicit.
