UN GATE, June 26
– The United Nations claims to
have a zero tolerance for
sexual exploitation by its
staff and peacekeepers, but
routinely covers up their
abuses including the rape of
children, withholding basic
information which was provided
to the Press under Ban Ki-moon
but not now under Antonio
Guterres.
Inner City Press, which
Guterres has banned from the
UN for 724 days as it asks
about these and his abuses, on
June 23 received from outraged
UN whistleblowers video of
sexual exploitation, they
said, in a white UN-marked
vehicle, here.
Now Instagram,
Facebook.
Inner City
Press has been informed in
detail by UNTSO and Tel Aviv
sources of the history of
prostitution - which the UN
calls sexual exploitation and
claims it has zero tolerance
for - at work here. HaYarkon
Street is well known for
prostitution, and now hotels
are closed by COVID-19. There
is also a history of those in
the UN vehicle. UN
whistleblowers who due to
Guterres' retaliation won't
speak to the UN Secretariat
have spoken to Inner City
Press. But the UN's belated
investigation is excluding all
this information. It is a
cover-up. Inner City Press has
formally requested the code to
ask questions at the June 26
UN noon briefing, including to
a UN Peacekeeping official who
will speak / lie there. Watch
this site.
The UN has
for four days refused to
respond in any way, from
Guterres through Amina J.
Mohammed to Achim Steiner and
Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric
and dozens of other UN
officials and member states,
apparently hoping for another
UN cover up.
Well, no.
Inner City
Press early on June 25
reported what it knows and has
now been taken without credit,
as part of this litmus test
the UN has failed: the car
belongs to UNTSO mission, in
Tel Aviv, and the car plate is
205. Photo here.
Both are civilian
international staff of UNTSO
mission headquartered in
Jerusalem. "Their names are
known."
It asked, now
what will corrupt censor
Guterres do?
Belatedly,
after trying to cover up for
three days, on the evenin gof
June 26 from Dujarric's $10
million penthouse apartment on
86th Street on Manhattan Upper
East Side, this: "We are
deeply disturbed by content of
video apparently involving
personnel from #UNTSO. An
investigation was swiftly
launched & is moving very
quickly. Appropriate action
will be taken. 9:25 PM · Jun
25, 2020 from New York,
USA·Twitter for iPhone." Photo

example here.
And here,
in Austria.
Inner City
Press does not have confidence
in the UN's limited and
belated self-investigation,
which is excluding
whistleblowers' information.
Dujarric, presumably for
Guterres, has been covering up
dozens of UN child rapes for
at least the past year. Inner
City Press has been asking
about them; Dujarric and
Guterres had Inner City Press
roughed up and banned.
Dujarric said he would answer
written questions, but then he
stopped. And now, all if-asked
information about UN rapes is
withheld. So, no. It is time
for accountability, and an end
to UN censorship. Watch this
site.
Tellingly, in
terms of UN censorship
(alliance), in a Press-less
"press conference" on June 25
those allowed in by Melissa
Fleming did not ask about this
obvious scandal. Periscope here.
Nor the
June 22 admission
by Sri Lanka former PR Kohona
that his country led a
campaign to get Inner City
Press ousted and banned from
the UN after it reported on
mass killings in Sri Lanka.
Inner City Press has sent out
and will send out many more
requests for response and
action, and will report on
results. Watch this
site.
