UN Gate, August
2 – The United Nations
under Antonio Guterres sinks
ever lower into complicity
with sexual abuse and
trafficking, and lack of
accountability. Now this from
whistleblowers, about those
who help cover up:
On July 30 Inner
City Press while covering a UN
Press Briefing Room propaganda
session by Germany's
Mission to the UN that it was
banned
from attending even virtually
and even asking questions at tweeted,
"This guy, who also tried to
use UN Security against the
press, is now praising Germany
for being so good with him. No
amount of hand-painting can
make up for abusive sleaze -
he once drunkenly hugged an
Ambassador who demanded, Who
*are* you?"
Nearly immediately complaints
rolled in, as this UN
Correspondents Association
official who is Ali Barada of
France 24 and An-Nahar is
widely known in the UN as
engaged in sexual harassment
and abuse. Several
complainants, stating that
Barada used his media company
position to inappropriately
touch them, said they want him
identified and something done,
that they still suffer PTSD.
We'll have more on this -
including if the media and UN
who have known but not acted
act now.
UNCA
despite a false policy, which
its Evelyn Leopold used to
hound out of a UN a South
Asian correspondent who then
died, has done nothing about
the sexual harassment and
worse of its own officials.
Stories are also legion from
the victims of a Middle
East-based news / propaganda
channel, whose in action is
perhaps more expected that the
collusion with Barada of
Guerres, Melissa Fleming,
Stephane Dujarric and the
German mission. But this Gulf
country, at least in the UN,
makes many claims about its
record on gender. We'll have
more on this.
And, first in
this ongoing series, a sampel
UN official: "Toby Lanzer was
undoubtedly the most senior UN
official (last eight years as
ASG in three countries) who
committed most abuse of power,
harassment including on racial
and gender grounds, sexual
depravity, fraud, and just
about anything else the UN
says it wants to fight with
zero tolerance. So, as
he just announced his early
retirement, just on reaching
early retirement age at 55,
the obvious question is: how
can the UN tolerate something
like this for so long ?
Which powers were behind him
? The impunity is as
shocking as the abuse itself,
and hopefully you can
investigate this. In
Angola in his first job, he
faked his own kidnapping and
sexual abuse to score points,
and got a promotion. In
Moscow he made women cry in
the office after not only
making them work like slaves,
but also asking for sexual
favours for them not to be
fired. One woman
reported him and he was simply
sent to Geneva on a
promotion. In Geneva he
used his staff to manage the
rent of his apartment and run
all kinds of errands.
Staff no longer had a life and
were his slaves full
time. He would feel free
to wake them up any time in
the night. In CAR he
fired half the UNDP office
until staff complained
formally. UNDP let him
go and he was promoted to D2
in Darfur. He had a
girlfriend working for an NGO,
and for her a job with WFP in
Chad in exchange for sexual
services. Plus trips for
them both disguised as
official travel. In
Sudan he committed fraud by
getting a British company to
procure construction materials
at an inflated price and get
his return. In East
Timor he had sex with minors
and everyone was closing
eyes."
These are the
type of allegations from UN
whistleblowers that Guterres
and his two spokesmen refuse
to answer in any way, despite
having told now gone UN
Rapporteur David Kaye that
they were answering Inner City
Press' questions.
"Besides
his frequent trips to Cambodia
to have sex with more
minors. He was promoted
ASG to South Sudan when people
got sick of him. But in
South Sudan it is him who got
sick and decided to
leave. So he triggered
and staged his being kicked
out by the government.
This got him not only a nicer
post in Dakar but also lots of
attention by the security
council. In Dakar again
he once had a one month
“mission” to the beach in St
Louis at taxpayer expense
making it pass as a
retreat. He finally went
to Afghanistan where he was
once spotted having sex in the
car park with a National
staff. He was force to
retire amidst complaints
(Afghans are not as easygoing
as people in the other places
he has been). He leaves
behind a legacy of colleagues
traumatized by his
behavior. How could
impunity last so long?"
The answer
to the question, and the
problem for the Un and its
victims, is Antonio Guterres.
Ghislaine Maxwell used the
United Nations, as reported by
Inner City Press whose
questions about it UN
Secretary General Antonio
Guterres refuses.
First
Inner City Press showed that
on the board of Maxwell's
Terramar Project Inc. was
Guterres chief Partnerships
official, Amir Dossal, below.
Now while
UNEP official Lisa Svensson
appears in the documents
unsealed July 30 in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
which Inner City Press covers
since ousted
from the UN by Guterres for is
reporting, Inner City Press is
continuing its exclusive 2018
reporting in Svensson's "Volvo
Boating" and other scams at
UNEP, here,
where we published
in full, on Scribd and Patreon, the agreement
with Volvo Ocean
Races signed by
Erik Solheim, here,
and the EUR
500,000
agreement signed
by UNEP's Lisa
Emilia Svensson, here and here.
