UN Won't Confirm Having N Korea Political Officer On Camera, Ex-Amnesty Whispers It's True

By Matthew Russell Lee

UNITED NATIONS, October 14 – The UN, which routinely lies about such matters of corruption of its officials by businessmen like now-convicted Ng Lap Seng, and its knowledge of the extensive killing and abuse in the Anglophone areas of Cameroon, won't even answer publicly when it employs a North Korea plant in its Department of Political Affairs. Repeatedly this year Inner City Press has asked the UN to confirm or deny and provide any updates on the acceptance by DPA of a North Korea “Junior Professional Officer.” Inner City Press even asked now-gone Under Secretary General Wu Hongbo. But even after DPA under lameduck chief Jeffrey Feltman accepted the North Korean JPO, on October 12 Antonio Guterres' spokesman for the day, when asked “can you confirm a North Korean was appointed to a low-level spot in DPA,” said flatly, No. But multiple sources tell Inner City Press that DPA's near-invisible spokesman Jose Luis Diaz has, in fact, confirmed what the UN on camera denied. Like UN WIPO's work on North Korean cyanide patents, this is a shameful scam, including in terms of transparency. Jose Luis Diaz previously refused to respond to Inner City Press' inquiry about Feltman staying on at DPA in order for his UN pension to vest. It's time to clean house, including in light of the UN's shameful failure on Cameroon. Jose Luis Diaz' former employer Amnesty International has reported on (some of) the abuses in Cameroon, when UN DPA where he works just helps cover up. There must be something in the UN water. We'll have more on this - watch this site.
