UN Gate, Sept 17
– As the United Nations after
a year of failing on Ukraine
and covering up sexual abuses
from the DR Congo to Colombia
gears up for its annual UNGA
Week this month, it has tried
to further limit access and
coverage by independent
press.
Will this
continue under incoming PGA
Csaba Kőrösi of Hungary? On
September 15, Inner City Press
wrote to members including his
deputy chief of staff Fernando
A. Marani - despite claims of
transparency, as of September
17 no response or action: "As
a journalist who has reported
on the United Nations and its
work for more than ten years,
and who today was allowed to
question the IMF but was not
(yet?) allowed back into the
UN, I am writing to you as
deputy chef de cabinet of the
Office of President of the
General Assembly to formally
ask that you ensure that my
application, a week ago, to UN
MALU to cover next week's UNGA
week is approved, on Sept
16. A photo
of MALU's confirmation of
receipt of my application is
attached, and can be confirmed
by you with them.
It
is imperative that the OPGA
for the 77th session not be
complicit in censorship of
independent, investigative
Press from entering to cover
your UNGA.
Please confirm receipt of this
request, and act on it as
specified above."
Two
days, nothing. Marani is
described as a Argentine
diplomat - but a diplomat
answers his mail, whether he's
being paid by global
taxpayers, or those of
Argentina - or somehow else?
Inner City Press gets answers
from the IMF, including on
Argentina - but stonewalling
from the UN, and now Marani.
We will continue on this,
including other staff members
taking public (or undisclosed)
money and not being responsive
-- censoring, in fact. Watch
this site.
