SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 19 – The UN's retaliation
is not limited to banning the
Press that Secretary General
Antonio Guterres doesn't like
- he also fired and penalizes
UN staff who dare speak out
about the Organization's
abuses.
On June 16,
a week before a documentary on
the topic that's said to
include leaked audio first
published by Inner City Press,
Inner City Press asked UN
Spokespeople Stephane
Dujarric, Farhan Haq and
Melissa Fleming:
"What are the
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres on the BBC piece
about UN whistleblowers being
retaliated against, set for
worldwide view on June 21 but
presumably already in the SG's
awareness? See this."
While Team
Guterres has not answered,
other parts of the UN system
are said to be preparing
damage control. Then there's
these reports to Inner City
Press from within the
UN: Michael Dudley is
leaving OIOS. Why would
he do that at this time?
Dudley has wanted
the UN "D-2" post since he
joined OIOS more than 15 years
ago, and that post has still
not been filled. Dudley
is 59. He has not reached
retirement age, even in the
UN, so why would he go
now? Has he been paid
off?
Dudley was always
protected by Catherine
Pollard, so now with her on
her way out, did she approve a
generous financial pay-out for
Dudley while she still
could? Did Dudley
realize he could not survive
without her and so took the
opportunity to run while he
still could?
Michael Dudley is
married to Mercedes Gervilla,
Head of Conduct &
Discipline - the unit that
publishes the minimalist data
dumps about UN rapes that
Guterres and his spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Farhan
Haq then cover up. Any
news of movements with her
post at this time cannot be
dismissed as yet another
“co-incidence.”
Also, Ben Swanson
-- who was promoted to ASG
thanks to Catherine Pollard,
and who has still not
appointed a new Investigations
Director -- has told staff in
OIOS that the documentary next
week (that Inner City Press
has asked Dujarric and Haq
about, without answer) will
include a secret audio
recording of him -- a
recording exclusively first
published by Inner City Press.
We'll have more
on this.
