UN GATE, Jan 2 –
The United Nations is
supposedly run by its Security
Council. But with Secretary
General Antonio Guterres,
currently violation New York
COVID-19 quarantine guidance
on a Lisbon vacation, having
banned Inner City Press
from the UNSC stakeout and all
UN press briefings, what will
the incoming Security Council
members do? This is a
test.
On January 1,
five countries entered the UN
Security Council for two
years.
There is Norway,
which while claiming to be
positive on press freedom has
refused to answer or
acknowledge written questions
from Inner City Press about
Mona Juul's and Terje Roed
Larsen's connections and
funding from notorious sex
trafficker Jeffrey
Epstein.
Inner City
Press has been asking about
the targeted slaughter of
civilians in Cameroon
- genocide - the
impunity of the UN on bringing
cholera to Haiti,
Western
Sahara and sexual
abuse by UN peacekeepers.
Guterres'
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Melissa Fleming have been
refusing to answer questions
even in writing, and refusing
to provide any avenue to
appeal the ban.
The
UN Dispute Tribunal purported
to order Inner City Press to
destroy leaked evidence of UN
sexual abuse, so Inner City
Press has appealed
to the UN Appeals
Tribunal. But that is not a
real hearing on UN censorship.
It's up to these member
states.
There are
four other entrants - Kenya,
India, Mexico and Ireland -
which Inner City Press will be
writing to and reviewing in
the days to come. What do they
stand for? Watch this site.
