Amid UN censorship of Press,
on March 31 before the United

Security Security Council

City Press wrote to their
Mission and Ambassador Barbara
Woodward and spokesperson
Mungo Woodifield:
"This is a timely
request that you send Inner
City Press the pass code(s) to
access your UNSC Presidency
press briefing on April 1,
2022. I have questions to ask
on what you will do this month
about the conflicts in
Ukraine, Cameroon, Yemen,
DRC and Libya - and on
recent cases of sexual abuse
and exploitation by UN
peacekeepers on Inner
City Press first reported -
Inner City Press is asking to
be provided with access / the
passwords to your UK mission's
stakeouts and press
conferences this month as UNSC
President.
Given your stated
focus on the rule of law, you
should ensure due process (and
access) for Press covering the
UN. Please note that
Inner City Press and I
participate in the WebEx
briefings of, for example, the
IMF:today March 31, 2022, here
and previously sent
to your mission:
And Oct
19:
As you all have
now moved the Council back
into its Chamber, either way I
would also like to ask you to
instruct MALU / USG-DGC
Fleming to allow me to enter
to cover it, for Inner City
Press. Please
immediately confirm receipt,
and provide the passcode or
state why not. Thank you
in advance Matthew
