SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 17 –
How
corrupt and
bought by
China is
today's UN?
Well,
amid
escalating
protests and
repression of
anti-Xi
protests of
COVID-lockdowns,
from Xinjiang
to Shanghai
and Beijing,
the UN of SG
Antonio
Guterres and
his weak human
rights
commissioner
Volker Turk
have said
nothing.
Amid
canned
statements
about other
topics,
including
claims of UN
concern at
rapes while
Guterres
covered up for
UN rapist
Karim Elkorany
and unindicted
rapist UN
Peacekeepers,
nothing on the
protests in
China, the
dead in
Urumqi,
journalists
including from
BCC beaten
up.
This
after
Guterres was
sold on
December 9 by
the UN
Correspondents
Association,
which has
among its
membership
Iran state
media which
broadcasts
forced
confessions.
Guterres
refused a
Press question
about his
silence in Qatar here.
On
December 6,
UNCA released
its clean
slate of
"leaders" for
2023 - with no
competition for
any post.
It turns out
there were
only 50 voters -
lowest turnout
ever, for a
groups that
claims the
right to block
media globally
from entering
the UN -- and
now
China
has two state
media seats -
Xinhua and
CCTV,
replacing AFP
- Russia, Turkey,
and the top
award to a
crony. Some
got as few
of 26 of the
50 votes,
even with no
competition. Photo here.
No
response to Quinn
Emanuel's letter - nor
this appeal
of ban. It's
the UN
Censorship
Alliance.
