UN GATE, Dec 23 –
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. Now the UN
Appeals Tribunal is apparently
going on vacation without even
acknowledging the appeal. To
some, it's just Antonio
Guterres' kangaroo court - now
of censorship.
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 904 days.
Inner City
Press is even banned from
submitting questions by WebEx,
on which the International
Monetary Fund for example
answers its questions. The
only difference is Guterres
and his corruption.
On the
morning of December 22 Inner
City Press emailed him and his
spokespeople this question: "After
UNDT purported
to order me to
destroy evidence
of sexual
harassment by UN
staff Padula,
what now are the
responses of SG
Guterres and his
consigliere
Soares, UN
General
Counsel
(and DSG,
Fleming, Alayne
Frankson-Wallace,
Director of the
Office of the
Administration
of Justice and
Elia Armstrong,
the Ethics
Director, to
whom it was
emailed, to the
UNAT appeal and
statement 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.
Thi is a request
that you
acknowledge
receipt and also
provide a case
number. Where is
the response?
What type of
organization is
this?"
No
answer.
On
December 21 Inner City Press
filed a formal appeal with the
UN Appeals Tribunal, full
filing here
on DocumentCloud
Days later,
nothing from the corrupt UN of
Antonio Guterres.
We will have
more, including listing more
of those who have received the
filing without response,
complicit in the UN's cover up
of abuse. Watch this site.
