UN GATE, August
27 – The United Nations these
days is a venue of failure, censorship
and even rape.
Throughout August
it has held meetings on the
Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Inner City Press, banned from
entering the UN for exposing
UNSG Antonio Guterres'
corruption, covered the NPT as
it could, noting on August 26
the cutting off of Ukraine here.
On August
26, after an insiders' press
conference from which it was
also banned, the conference
failed, Inner City Press video
here,
portrait of Costa Rica and
Ambassador Maritza Chan here.
Twelve
hours later, emerging from
slumber or worse, UNSG Antonio
Guterres issued a canned
statement about how concerned
he was. Really? Then where was
he? Either lazy or no impact
or both - while he bans the
Press that asks. "The
Secretary-General expresses
his disappointment at the
inability of the tenth Review
Conference of the Parties to
the Treaty on the
Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
Weapons (NPT) to reach
consensus on a substantive
outcome... The
Secretary-General expresses
his sincere appreciation to
Ambassador Gustavo Zlauvinen
(Argentina), President of the
Review Conference, for his
vigorous efforts to facilitate
agreement on an outcome
document.
Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman
for the
Secretary-General
New York, 27 August 2022
Even
during the endless speeches
Friday night, in a "press"
conference that was nothing
but Japanese and Russian state
media, Ambassador
Gustavo Zlauvinen, President
of the Tenth Review Conference
of the Parties to the Treaty
on the Non-Proliferation of
Nuclear Weapons, absurdly
claimed that it was NOT a
failure.
He said it had
been a four week movie, just
no photo at the end. Today's
UN: defining failure down.
A fish rots
from the head. That's today's
UN.
