UN GATE, Dec 21 –
How corrupt and unaccountable
is today's United Nations?
Well, last
month Inner City Press went to
attend and report on a UN
Dispute Tribunal proceeding
about a case of sexual
harassment in the UN, a
proceeding which was announced
as open to the public, as US
court cases are.
But when
Inner City Press signed in and
gave its name, it was
excluded. Later, when it
obtained and published evidenc
presented in the case, a UN
Dispute Tribunal judge ordered
it to destroy the evidence or
be banned from all future
proceedings.
This while
UN Secretary General Antonio
Guterres falsely claims to
have zero tolerance for sexual
harassment and abuse, while
himself banning Inner City
Press from UN briefings now
for 902 days.
On
December 21 Inner City Press
filed a formal appeal with the
UN Appeals Tribunal, full
filing here
on DocumentCloud, prefaced by
this:
"While I have
conferred with UN
practitioners on that
attached, I would like to add
that as a US journalist I find
it particularly outrageous
that the UNDT purported to
order me to destroy evidence
of sexual harassment / abuse
within the UN, of the type
that the UNSG and his
spokepeople refuse to answer
about or allow Inner City
Press into its briefings to
ask, even by WebEx which the
IMF, for example, answers
Inner City Press' over. All of
this should be reversed.
This is a request that you
acknowledge receipt and also
provide a case number."
Nine hours
later, nothing from the
corrupt UN of Antonio
Guterres.
We will have
more, including listing those
who have received the filing
without response, complicit in
the UN's cover up of abuse.
