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

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.
