As UN Guterres Lies About Human Rights in Bangkok US Report Cites UN Only Once, Nepal and Bangla

By Matthew Russell Lee, CJR Letter PFT Q&A, NY Post

UNITED NATIONS GATE, Nov 3 – Inner City Press has been banned from entering the UN by UNSG Antonio Guterres since 5 July 2018. While Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on camera he was answering banned Inner City Press' many questions, he is not. It is a lie, see below, with no answers on Cameroon, Honduras, UN rapes, Guterres' corruption.

 Now Dujarric has on November 3 issued a Press Encounter in Bangkok with questions such as these, to Guterres who refuses to answer on his own use of funds (and presumptive use of drug trafficker El Chapo's funds) -- "Question: Basically is called now public enemy number one when it comes to climate change?"

  Meanwhile the US issued a 32 page report in connection with Bangkok meeting, which showed the irrelevance of the, mentioning only once: "We have helped United Nations (UN) peacekeepingcontributing states like Bangladesh and Nepal become more effective by providing equipment, such as the Unmanned Aircraft System we transferred to Bangladesh, and by providing training for these partners’ senior military officers at American professional military education schools." No work with Sri Lanka, unlike the UN said to be about to send 250 of Shavendra Silva's troops to Mali, see Inner City Press exclusive here.

  In Bangkok, Guterres pontificated about "the Agenda 2030 of the UN, with the empowerment of women, with the protection of vulnerable sectors of the population, about human rights" -- this while he sidles up to China amid the lock up of Uighurs in Xinjiang and crack down in Hong Kong and, in Africa, the killing of Anglophones in Cameroon - and with Dujarric and Melissa Fleming covers up UN rapes of women and children, "vulnerable sectors of the population," refusing to provide if-asked information they have and that even Ban Ki-moon provided. Pure hypocrisy.

Some recent UNanswered questions:

November 1-1: On Cameroon, what are the belated comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on the US decision to cut trade benefits to Biya's Cameroon citing extrajudicial killings and other number rights abuses?

November 1-2: On UN sexual exploitation and abuse - alleged - this is a request that you immediately provide the "if asked" information about the case of sexual abuse of a child alleged against a Cameroon UN "peacekeeper" in CAR cursorily data dump on October 31 at 1:30 pm as well as previously requested without response about the child rape and sexual exploitation by UN "peacekeepers" from Cameroon and South Africa the UN cursorily disclosed on the afternoon of October 28 - about which Inner City Press did not this time immediately ask, given that each of you have refused for one week and counting to answer in any way with if-asked information about the child rape and sexual exploitation cases involving Indonesia...

1-4: On Honduras, narco-corruption and SG Guterres' meeting last month with President Juan Orlando Hernandez and previous four person panel, on which you have refused all of Inner City Press' questions while on October 29 thanking JOH's government for $50,000 - what assurances do the UN have this is not from the $1 million JOH was shown to have taken from narco trafficking El Chapo?

September 4-8: Immediately explain the single lawless line from MALU on 30 August 2019: "Greetings Matthew Lee from Inner City Press, Your media accreditation request, with reference no: M5413398, has been declined for the following reason: Media accreditation was withdrawn on 17 August 2018." This is a formal request for the UN's explanation of grounds for this denial. And a demand for answer to these questions, which MALU has declined to answer:  Who made the decision?  Where is the list of those accredited by [MALU]?  What and to whom is the process of appeal? 

May 15-3: On the Public Financial Disclosures for 2017 belatedly published over the weekend of April 27-28, please state why Mohammed Ibn Chambas, like the Executive Secretary of the UN Biodiversity Convention, Cristiana Paşca-Palmer, UNICEF's Henriette Fore, with documented links to ExxonMobil and others, USG Mark Lowcock (undisclosed while the Secretariat's speaker at the UNSC Arria on Cameroon), UNCTAD's Mukhisa Kituyi, UN Women's Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, UNOG chief Michael Moller, UNDP chief Achim Steiner, Adama Dieng, UN Security chief Peter Drennan, Rosemary DiCarlo and Nicholas Haysum, not even on the list.
