UN GATE / SDNY,
April 1 –
With the United Nations
largely failing on Ukraine, US
Ambassador to the UN Linda
Thomas-Greenfield is on her
way to Moldova and Romania.
But when a press call was held
on April 1 about her trip,
there were only four
questions, two from US
government funded
media.
Inner City
Press which covers the
conflict, and the continued
presence in Russia of
Citigroup, MUFG and others,
was not informed of the press
call, despite receiving such
notices and opportunities from
the IMF (see here
March 31)
An unnamed
Administration Official was asked,
"There was a call this week by
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee on the USUN to start
the process of ejecting Russia
out of the Human Rights
Council and the Security
Council. Any response?"
The
response did not mention any
USUN effort in this regard -
this while the UN Secretariat
fields questions from state
media but not Inner City
Press, which it has banned.
The issued has
been raised to the US State
Department via Laurel Rapp in
late 2021, pro bono by the Quinn
Emanuel law firm - and
still no answer at all.
We'll have more
on all this.
