SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 24 – Senegal, through its
Mission to the UN in New York
with Permanent Representative
Fode Seck, have been sued for
$1 million by a Senegalese
architect who says they ripped
him off.
He says his claim
is not blocked by sovereign or
diplomatic immunity, so common
around today's UN, since
Senegal was developing
commercial real
estate.
In the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
which Inner City Press covers
daily including Cheikh Gadio
along with the UN while being
banned
by UNSG Antonio Guterres from
entering the UN due to its
reporting on UN corruption,
Pape M. Diedhiou filed a
lawsuit on July 23, 2020, for
more than $1 million.
He
recounts that after
substantial work, in May 2016
he "sent an invoice to Fode
Seck, who had replaced [Paul]
Badji as Senegal's Permanent
Representative to the UN."
Seck has led the
UN's Committee on the
Inalienable Rights of the
Palestinian People - but he
did not pay Diedhiou for his
work. The lawsuit followed.
Inner City Press will be
following it. Watch this
