SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 14 – How corrupt is
today's UN system, under
Antonio Guterres? Well on
October 14, 2021 for the UN
"Human Rights" Council every
election was without any
opposition or competition. So
too the current "election" of
the UN Correspondents
Association, here.
And while the UN
Correspondents have entirely
ignored the corruption of
Honduras president Juan
Orlando Hernandez, propped up
by Guterres in the last
election and since, in Geneva
among those elected were, yes,
Honduras - and the
Cameroon of Paul Biya, which
with Guterres support has been
slaughtering Anglophone
civilians (to cover it up,
Guterres, Melissa Fleming and
Stephane Dujarric have banned
Inner City Press 1338 days),
and Honduras of
narco-president Juan Orlando
Hernandez.
Now from
Geneva, as a sort of footnote
to the UN's actual role, this:
"The UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights Michelle Bachelet
on Tuesday expressed her deep
concern about political
violence in Honduras, which
has already claimed 29 lives,
and called on the authorities
to ensure an environment
conducive to holding peaceful,
transparent and genuine
elections.
Honduras will hold local,
general and presidential
elections this coming Sunday,
28 November, in an extremely
tense and polarized context,
in which serious attacks and
other forms of violence have
been
documented.
Since primary elections were
called in September 2020 up to
the present, the UN Human
Rights Office in Honduras has
recorded 63 cases of political
violence, including 29
killings, 14 attacks, 12
instances of aggressive
behaviour, as well as seven
people being directly
threatened and one kidnapped."
Nothing about JOH.
Here's the full line up:
The new members
of the Human Rights Council
will start the
three-year-mandate on 1
January 2022. The
numbers of votes obtained by
each Member State:
Benin: 189, Gambia: 186,
Cameroon: 179, Somalia: 171
and Eritrea: 144. India:
184, Kazakhstan: 184,
Malaysia: 183, Qatar: 182,
United Arab Emirates:
180. Lithuania: 178,
Montenegro: 178
Paraguay: 185, Argentina: 175,
Honduras: 172 Finland:
180, Luxembourg: 180, United
States of America: 168.
We'll have more on this.
