UN GATE, Dec 23 –
Inner City Press on 5 July
2018 was banned from entering
the UN, two day after it was
physically removed from
conducting interviews outside
meeting about the UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres' $6.7
billion budget.
Then
Guterres' Department of Global
Communication, run by Melissa
Fleming, issued a letter
banning Inner City Press from
the UN - for life. With no due
process, no right of
appeal. Guterres has put
the UN in the US Press Freedom
Tracker, here. Guterres'
Spokesman Stephane Dujarric
falsely promised on camera
that he would be answering
banned Inner City Press'
questions - but see below.
On Dec 23 after Guterres again
refused to answer but
the IMF did answer, here
(3 Dec 2020), like here,
before another maskless UN
noon briefing by quarantine
violator Stephane "French
Whine" Dujarric,
previously the face of UN lies
on cholera in Haiti, Inner
City Press submitted to
briefer deputy Farhan Haq and
tther yet more questions (blocked by
Dujarric's screener Florencia
Soto Nino on +1
917 226 7816
and Dujarric
himself on +1
917 622 7652;
he directed
some favored
scribes to Eri
Kaneko on +1
917 208 8910,
who now blocks
Inner City
Press on
WhatsApp as
well)
including on the basis on
which it continues to be
lawlessly banned from entering
to ask questions in person.
Now also on the basis for
withholding publicly funded UN
video from the Press. There
was no answer from Farhan Haq
on +1 917 592 4591, not even a
confirmation of receipt, and
now UN official like Hua
Jiang, Eri Kaneko, now on
screen Jennifer Confilio, Adam
Smook, Marisela Rivera and
others to be named taking
public money for a UN briefing
blocking email questions about
the UN's spread of Covid 19 - May 21

Inner City Press asked:
Dec 23-1:
Immediately respond to (as you
have to date refused to) and
explain this leaked audio,
exclusively published by Inner
City Press, of OIOS' Ben
Swanson here
After UNDT purported to order me to
destroy evidence of sexual harassment by UN
staff Padula, what 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, now that the appeal has been
acknowledged and said to be on ePortal with
case number? "Weicheng Lin via
unitednations.onmicrosoft.com 9:39
AM Dear Mr. Lee, I acknowledge
receipt of your filing. As you do
not have access to the eFiling portal, we at
the registry will upload your filing in the
eFiling portal for you and will forward your
filing to the parties for comment.... We will
process your filing in the eFiling Portal and
give it a case number." How
is it acceptable that each of your takes
public money and refuses to answer or even
acknowledge Press questions, including about
UN staff's sexual abuse?
On Ethiopia what are the comments and actions
if any of SG Guterres that unknown assailants
have killed at least 90 people in a village in
Ethiopia's western Benishangul-Gumuz state
during a Wednesday dawn attack?
On CAR what are
the comments and actions if
any of SG Guterres on that
Central African Republic
authorities have accused a
former president of an
attempted coup, as a coalition
of rebel groups combined
against the government.
It said forces loyal to
François Bozizé were near the
city of Bossembélé and planned
to march on the capital
Bangui.
Where *is* SG
Guterres, and how much is it
costing the public, including
in UN Security costs? How long
will he (SG) be there? How
does it comply with quarantine
rules, including NY/USA
quarantine rules, and UK
rules?
AGAIN - On UN
sexual exploitation and abuse
- alleged - this is a request
that you immediately provide
the "if asked" information
about the new case of sexual
abuse by a Morocco
"peacekeeper" in DRC, data
dumped at 12:01 pm on December
17, and the cases of
child rape and sexual
exploitation by UN
"peacekeepers" from Uruguay,
Ethiopia, Senegal and Benin
and again Cameroon, in DRC and
Central African Republic just
cursorily data dumped onto the
UN website December 10
(Human Rights Day and that you
immediately provide the
"granular" information that
was promised today at noon to
correspondents who barely ask
or publish about this topic.
What is being done for the
victims?
Given that the UN
Dispute Tribunal purported to
order Inner City Press to
destroy evidence of sexual
wrongdoing inside the UN, by
UN staff, please immediately
explain how a media subject to
such an order is purportedly
banned from appealing it, or
having any opportunity to be
heard on "contempt"? How
is today's UN not a mockery of
press freedom?
On SG son Pedro
Guimarães e Melo De Oliveira
Guterres, explain how the
business of Explorer
Investments has been reviewed
for conflicts of interest.
Explain immediately how Pedro
Guterres doing business with
Rwanda while Antonio Guterres
was UNSG was and is not a
conflict, and what was
disclosed and to whom.
On Western Sahara
and Morocco what are the
comments and actions of any of
SG Guterres and separately the
UN Mission and non existent
Personl Envoy on that "On
Monday, November 16,
12-year-old Hayat, born
10/8/2008, was arrested while
attending classes at the
Al-Nahda school in occupied El
Aaiun and taken to the
Moroccan security
headquarters, where she was
subjected to torture
On deadline what
is the SG's (and separately
OIOS') position on the
impending promotion of Lily
Neyestani-Hailu in UNESCO?
State whether SG Guterres, as he told FOSS,
went to Massachusetts and if so whether he
will stay there are least three days for
testing (and be tested if and when back),
under new NY rules
Immediately explain, given the Amir Dossal
was on board of Epstein's procurer Ghislaine
Maxwell's Terramar Project and Inner City
Press has repeatedly asked you each about in
writing, how Spokesman Dujarric's Oct 30 on
camera statement is not aware of any other
UN connection to Epstein, beyond IPI, was
and is not a lie and cover up.
Again, why did Guterres not list
Gulbenkian, linked to CEFC China Energy, in
his disclosure covering 2016? What are
Guterres' comments on IPI and Epstein, why
would he not say why he left the board? Why
has he not quit Club of Madrid? Why was Amir
Dossal on Board of Terramar of Ghislaine
Maxwell?
Immediately state
what the follow up has been on
this and other cases below
left murky in the OIOS
report "An investigation
revealed that a staff member
at the Office of the 69th
President of the General
Assembly had been involved in
a range of activities that
included diversion of funds,
misuse of assets and
self-dealing in the discharge
of duties. The staff member
had used their position to
advance their personal
interests and those of third
parties, received undeclared
gifts, solicited funds that
were diverted to unofficial
accounts and engaged in
unauthorized outside
activities. OIOS transmitted
its findings to the Office of
Human Resources for
appropriate action and to the
Office of Legal Affairs for
possible referral to national
authorities." Inner City
Press reported on this, and
it's now in the Uganda press,
the Monitor etc
On Cameroon,
please immediately provide SG
Guterres' comments and actions
if any on that Maurice Kamto
has been held under house
arrest for three weeks
now. Given your
failure to answer that, now on
deadline comment on the
retriation / refoulement to
Cameroon (airport shut for
this) of asylum seekers and
refugees and what the UN is
doing to ensure no torture or
worse.
On SG Guterres'
Oct 12 request / demand for $3
billion amid global cutbacks,
explain this line: $1.9
million to deliver a new
global communications strategy
for the United Nations." How
much is being contributed by
IDEA and Pierre Omidyar, as
you have refused to answer so
far? How would this money be
spend and how does it relate
to USG Fleming's ongoing ban
on Inner City Press?
On Spokesman
Dujarric's Oct 9 statement
that SG Guterres left New York
TWO times during the pandemic,
other than the belatedly
disclosed one resulting in two
weeks faux quanantine with
maskless men and Secretary
Pompeo visit, when was the
other one? Was it too follow
by two weeks in the
"Residence"? Where was it
disclosed?
Given that not
only Cunillera but Michael
Antoine are being paid by
UNTSO after the
#UNsexploitation exclusively
exposed by Inner City Press,
why have you not only refused
all of Inner City Press'
questions but also failure to
update your now inaccurate
statements about leave WITHOUT
pay?
What is the UN's response to Inner
City Press' Sept 5 application for access to
briefings to ask these and other questions (as
it was allowed to do with the IMF on September
10), receipt of which was confirmed by MALU?
How can retirees who publish nothing be
allowed in, and Inner City Press which asks
(without answer) and publishes be excluded,
and it not be censorship? Now at noon on
September 15, having been told by Brenden
Varma to "ask MALU" for access codes to ask
question of new PGA Zolkan Bozkir, given the
history of SDNY-proved corruption by John Ashe
and Sam Kutesa, among others, this is a
request to teh spokesperson's office and all
recipients for those codes, before 4:30 pm.
Cc-ing Brenden Varma.
On UN staffer
Karim Elkorany, indicted in
SDNY for lying to FBI about
drugging and raping women
while working for UN in Iraq,
immediately state what the
outcome of the victim
complaining to the UN was -
and why Elkorany was back at
liberty in New Jersey.
AGAIN -
immediately explain UN Amir
Dossal being 1 of 5 on board
of Ghislaine Maxwell's
Terramar Project, and what has
been done about it.
Immediately
provide the if-asked
information on the new SEA
charged data dumped this
morning about allegations
against South Africa
"peacekeeper" in DRC and Gabon
"peacekeeper" in CAR, and --
As Inner City Press asked each
of you on August 17 without
answer, re new 2020 UN child
rape in South Sudan case data
dumped on the afternoon of
August 17 - immediately
provide all if-asked info of
the type previously provided
under Ban Ki-moon before SG
Guterres tried to cover
everything up, and
August 5, 9 am by Italy in
Lebanon, South Africa in DRC
and an UNSPECIFIED UN civilian
CHILD RAPE in DR Congo of July
28 of Gabon in CAR and Guinea
in DRC, on top of those of
July 23, 6 pm that you
immediately provide all
if-asked / further information
about the new UN sexual
exploitation allegations in
CAR against UN "peacekeeper"
from Gabon, and in DRC by
South Africa, on top of
unanswered UNTSO driver
question and those data dumped
on June 4 after 2:30 pm - the
twelfth batch this summer so
far, no answers, UNSG
complicit
On Honduras and
COVID corruption by the Juan
Orlando Hernandez
administration, what are the
comment and actions if any of
SG Guterres on the corruption
allegations here?
And again, what is the read
out of Guterres' panel sent to
Honduras?
Immediate comments on the leaked
audio of OSSC Chediek Inner City Press
published Aug 5 on SoundCloud here
(1 of 6)
On Ghislaine Maxwell and UNEP's
Lisa Svensson, who has been exposed in SDNY
has saying the UN doesn't care about sex
trafficking, what is SG Guterres' response?
as well as on the
June 22 admission by Sri Lanka
former PR Kohona that his
country led a campaign to get
Inner City Press ousted and
banned from the UN after it
reported on mass killings in
Sri Lanka, as Inner City Press
was also doing as to Cameroon
when your UN banned it now for
834+ days. What is the appeals
process? On
deadline."
