SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 30 – In the UN system run
by Antonio Guterres, high
ranking officials can get away
with physical sexual abuse -
witness the "hands down the
pants" audio Inner City Press
exclusively first published
here - and with
inappropriate sexual
relationships with
subordinates.
Inner City Press received many
such complaints. On the
morning of June 30, Inner City
Press asked Guterres and his
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Melissa Fleming to answer,
on deadline, this, about this:
"Dear
Matthew, I work in
the United Nations
Verification Mission in
Colombia and would like to
give an account of another
cover-up of abuse by a senior
UN official in the UN. Mr.
Carlos Ruiz Massieu, Special
Representative of the
Secretary General in the
mission has been having an
affair with Ms. Daniela
Vargas, a local staff member,
since at least 2020.
After anonymous
reporting in early 2022 to the
Office of Internal Oversight
Services, he rushed to New
York to “voluntarily” declare
the affair. What a
coincidence!
After that, Ms.
Vargas got a job in the
Executive Office of the
Secretary General. A P-3 or
P-4 would have been
investigated for an affair
with a subordinate, but senior
officials get away with
anything. If
you decide to report it, I
would appreciate if you do not
show the email address."
Done.
Dujarric did not answer in
writing, nor at the subsequent
noon briefing he, Guterres and
Fleming ban
Inner City Press from, while
not answering this
pro bono letter from a
law firm. Watch this
