SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 26 – How corrupt and
undemocratic is today's United
Nations?
Well, now that
Antonio Guterres is pushing
for a second five-year term,
while banning
the Press for the 969th day
for daring to ask about his
finances and failures, he has
collaborators.
The
current President of the
General Assembly Volkan
Bozkir, a strongman from
Turkey who due to his bigoted
comments even pro-UN New York
City Mayor Bill de Blasio
wouldn't meet with, has the
duty of circulating letters
from candidates.
But for
nearly the entirety of
February 2021, Bozkir has
refused to circulate the
letter of UN staffer candidate
Arora Akanksha.
Bozkir's
spokesman Brendan Varma, who
blocks Inner City Press
on Twitter, dances around what
the rules are and won't
answer.
So, as a
test - and to raise the issue
of the UN's lack of content
neutral media access rules, lack
of a Freedom of Information
Act (fought for the Free
UN Coalition for Access) and
lack of scruples - Inner City
Press on the morning of
February 26 submitted a signed
letter
and C.V. to the PGA's Office
and to Varma.
Also to the
President of the Security
Council for February, Barbara
Woodward of the UK Mission,
along with a formal request
for confirmation of receipt.
By 5 pm on
February 26, nothing.
Absolutely corrupt.
Dereliction of duty. But we
will not rest. Watch this
site.
