Nikki
Haley Cites UN's Checkered
History, See Ladsous on Rapes,
Gallach on Censorship
By Matthew
Russell Lee
UNITED NATIONS,
January 18 – Before Nikki
Haley spoke as nominee for US
Ambassador to the UN, Senator
Bob Corker said he sometimes
wondered if just-left
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
had a pulse.
In fact,
Ban was quite active in
helping his own relatives at
the UN, promoting his son in
law to the top UN job in Kenya,
his brother mining in Myanmar
with a "UN delegation,"
indicted nephew using Ban's name
to sell real estate.
When Haley
began, she said the UN has a
"checkered history." That's
being diplomatic. Consider a
head of Peacekeeping who has
linked rapes to R&R, video
here.
Consider a
head of the UN "Department of
Public Information" who did no
due diligence over indicted UN
briber Ng Lap Seng - then
evicted and still restricts
the Press which asked here
about it. Audit
here, Para 37-40, 20b; NYT
here.
In
response to questions, Haley
praised the UN peacekeeping
mission in Sierra Leone,
questioned the one in South
Sudan and that country's
government. She noted that
countries make money off their
peacekeepers. The case in
point, we note, is Burundi, here.
