UN GATE, Jan 24 –
The moves by Antonio Guterres
to try to get five more years
in the UN Mansion on Sutton
Place by further selling out
human rights, banning the
Press which asks questions
about genocide in Cameroon,
peacekeepers' rapes and
Chinese bribes at the UN
continue.
Now an
op-ed in the Bangkok Post says
"António Guterres does not
deserve a second term... his
tenure as the world's top
diplomat has been
disappointing, marked by
failures to address human
rights abuses, initiate
fundamental institutional
reforms, or champion
multilateralism... There is no
shortage of qualified
candidates, including former
New Zealand prime minister and
former UN Development
Programme Administrator Helen
Clark, the former
Director-General of Unesco
Irina Bokova and Kristalina
Georgieva" of the IMF. Inner
City Press says: and there are
even more candidates better
than Guterres. We'll have more
on this. The op-ed is by Mark
S Cogan, Associate Professor
of Peace and Conflict Studies,
Kansai Gaidai University.
Inner City Press
on January 19 and 20 in
writing asked Guterres and his
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Melissa Fleming about his
and the UN's connection to the
criminal
complaint filed against
Professor Afrasiabi using
Iran's UN Mission and the UN
Federal Credit Union - no
answer at all. Ban
of Press hits 936 days.
So will Gumbo
Diplomacy of Linda
Thomas-Greenfield and Antony
Blinken result, as it should,
in the replacement of Guterres
by a candidate who will end
censorship and mediocrity?
