UN GATE, Dec 20 –
Inner City Press on 5 July
2018 was banned from entering
the UN, two day after it was
physically removed from
conducting interviews outside
meeting about the UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres' $6.7
billion budget.
Then
Guterres' Department of Global
Communication, run by Melissa
Fleming, issued a letter
banning Inner City Press from
the UN - for life. With no due
process, no right of
appeal. Guterres has put
the UN in the US Press Freedom
Tracker, here.
Guterres' Spokesman Stephane
Dujarric falsely promised on
camera that he would be
answering banned Inner City
Press' questions - but see
below.
On December 20 after the man
of undisclosed vacations
Guterres again
refused to answer but
the IMF did answer, May 6 here,
Feb 25 here,
Feb 4 here,
here,
before Stephane "French
Whine" Dujarric,
previously the face of UN lies
on cholera in Haiti, not
never-answering Associate
"Spokesperson" Florencia Soto
Nino who blocks Press on
WhatsApp, nor equally
censoring Associate Eri
Kaneko, nor UN
Spokesperson
Stephanie
Tremblay - and not Deputy
Farhan Haq, held a briefing
before which Inner City Press
submitted yet more questions - Inner City Press
has asked the above, and
Guterres and his new chief of
staff Courtenay Rattray and
others including Slovenia's
Mission:
These written
question are posed and
responses requested pursuant
to the until-now broken
commitment the the UN will
"continue to answer e-mailed
questions from Mr Lee" Inner

SG DSG Again, June
19-1: On press freedom, please confirm
receipt by MALU of, and that positive
consideration will belatedly be granted to,
my application to enter and cover UNGA 2023.
Submitted letter and 2024 letter
For now, it does
not even allow another
application, for example

20-1: On Gaza /
Israel, on which
each of you has
refused all of

questions, what
are the comments
and actions if
any of SG
Guterres and
separately PGA
Philemon Yang
(Spokesperson

here, Cameroon
question below)
and the US
Mission, cc-ed
here, as UNSC
president and
otherwise, on
this (and stiill
on the case
against UNRWA
here in SDNY)
Sweden announced
on Friday that
it will no
longer fund the
UN agency for
Palestinian
refugees and
their
descendants,
UNRWA. The
Nordic country’s
aid minister,
Benjamin Dousa,
told the Swedish
TV4 network that
Stockholm will
instead bolster
its humanitarian
aid to the Gaza
Strip via other
channels.
Sweden’s
decision to end
funding for
UNRWA was in
response to a
recent Israeli
ban, as it will
make channeling
aid to the
Palestinians via
the agency more
difficult, Dousa
said. Keep

Sweden plans to
increase its
overall
humanitarian
assistance to
Gaza next year,
he added. “There
are several
other
organizations in
Gaza, I have
just been there
and met several
of them,” the
minister
said
AGAIN, who is
paying for the
law firm's UNRWA
(and officials)
motion to
dismiss filed
yesterday here
in SDNY? This
question is also
for USUN, cc-ed
here What
are the comments
and actions of
SG Guterres on
this, not yet
published:
Dear InnerCity
Press, 30
September 2024
was the last day
at UNDP of
Angelique
Crumbly,
Assistant
Administrator
and Director of
the Bureau for
Management
Services
(BMS). Her
five-year
appointment
(2019-2024) was
not renewed by
UNDP. Ms.
Crumbly (who was
working at USAID
before UNDP) is
now Deputy
Director, Office
of Resource
Planning and
Budget
Information in
the Bureau of
Budget and
Planning at the
U.S. Department
of State (you
can check this
on the
web). In
this sense, I
wonder whether
Inner City Press
knows why her
mandate was not
renewed for
another 5
years? For
example: UNDP
was the victim
of a
cyber-attack (IT
was an area
under Ms.
Crumbly’s
oversight).
See this link
with public
information:
https://cybernews.com/security/united-nations-development-programme-cyberattack/
Was data
compromised?
Why did UNDP
core
contribution
(from donors) to
total resources
fall? This
is also public
information:
https://www.undp.org/sites/g/files/zskgke326/files/2024-11/finalcaseforcore.pdf
Ms. Crumbly was
responsible for
the support to
operations to
which resources
are
allocated.
And so on.
On DRC and
censorship, what
are the comments
of SG Guterres
and separately
USG Fleming and
Ian Phillips,
cc-ed here, on
that authorities
suspend eight
channels from
the Canal+
bouquet deemed
“immoral” In the
Democratic
Republic of
Congo (DRC), the
authorities are
cracking down on
eight channels
in the Canal+
bouquet. The
broadcasting of
Canal+ POP,
Canal+ Elles, E,
SYFY, MTV,
Canal+ ACTION,
AB1 and Canal+
Cinéma has been
suspended across
the country for
45 renewable
days AGAIN

What is are
the comments
and any
actions of SG
Guterres on
this, sent to
Inner City
Press by
whistleblowing
UN staff: "Mr.
SG We
would like to
give you an
update
summarizing
the disasters
that have been
happening
during the
long tenure of
USG Khare and
Ms. Van Den
Berg in
DOS. We
believe the
below summary
is significant
to understand
the current
situations we
are going
through in
most of the
Missions:
Starting from
the DMS and
CMS, past and
current
ones:
-
-
Rick Martin,
D2, DOS
Special
Project was
dismissed
without UN
benefit for
harassment
including
sexual
harassment.
-
Robert
Kirkwood, D1,
CMS UNISFA,
suspended
together with
the SRSG for
fraud with the
Contractors,
and then opted
for early
retirement. He
is due to to
be replaced by
Ms. Uchenna
Odenigbo,
former CMS in
UNITAMS, who
herself is
under
investigation
for financial
fraud in
Sudan. Ms
Odenigbo is
currently CMS
in UNSMIL
where she is
harassing
Staff and
recruiting
others to
questionable
positions
using her
influence.
Chief SCM Mr.
Louay Mostafa
is not in the
Country being
PNG for
falsification
of documents
and under
investigation
for
harassment.
-
Huda Hannina,
CMS D1 in
UNSMIL,
suspended for
almost three
years, on full
pay, despite
fact findings
having proven
her
responsibility
for fraud,
mismanagement
of resources,
abuse of power
and authority.
There have
been no
actions taken
against her
and remains on
full salary.
Current SRSG
Khoury, her
friend, is
trying to get
her back
despite all
Mission being
against it,
and will not
accept this
corruption.

investigation
for sex for
jobs and
misuse of UN
assets.
[Part 2 of x]
AGAIN,
what are the
comments and
actions if any
of SG Guterres
and separately
of the
Slovenia
Mission, as
UNSC president
and otherwise,
to the rule of
now convicted
(of
corruption)
and
incarcerated
ex-PM Janez
Jansa in
Slovenia
currently
occupying a UN
Security
Council seat,
this month?
What
reason could
there be to
deny this?
Particularly
given that
only today
Sept 16, Inner
City Press put
questions to
the IMF on
Guinea,
Ukraine and
Venezuela (see
here
and
then to IFRC's
Francesco
Rocca,
about
Cameroon. If
they take
questions, how
can the UN not
now allow
Inner City
Press, at
least for now
by WebEx? And
IMF on October
21, 2021 here.
And US
Buffalo NBC TV on Oct 26
here.
How does SG
Guterres and his
UN justify banning
Inner City Press
which reports
critically on the
UN, and not even
answer letters
from two pro bono
law firms, Quinn
Emanuel and
Duane Morris?
Still on
Mozambique itself,
for answer before or
at 12:30 - request
is in, for WebEx
access - what are
the comments and
actions if any of SG
Guterres - and
Mozambique - on that
Islamic State
Mozambique Province
(ISMP) Claims
Burning Over 230
Christian Houses In
Series Of Attacks In
Country's Nampula
Province, Conducts
'Preaching Tour' In
Muslim Villages In
Country's North
On Honduras, with
the March 8 guilty
verdicts against
former president JOH
taking place here in
SDNY finally (and
immediately)
disclose what SG
Guterres' three
person panel did in
Honduras in 2017
after JOH's stolen
election, including
if any report was
produced and a copy
of it.
Speaking
of reporting, immediately explain from UN
Spokesman Duarric's quote in Fortune here
that Stéphane Dujarric, the spokesman
for the U.N. secretary-general, tells me
that Lee’s prohibition has nothing to do
with his coverage. “It’s basic human
behavior, and he violated those rules,”
Dujarric says. “He was creating an unsafe
environment.”
1) if this has been only about safety, why
have none of you answered written Press
questions, on Gaza, etc? Why no access via
WebEx, as I have at IMF and as you grant
others who publish far less UN coverage? How
is this anything but censorship and how can
it be that USG Melissa Fleming has not even
answered the Duane Morris pro bono law firms
letters, by October 30?
Immediately confirm Melissa Fleming's
receipt of, and response to, the October 16
letter from the Duane Morris law firm
(attached to each of you on October 16
before noon) about restoring me to resident
correspondent status immediately,
starting "Re: Immediate Restoration of
Matthew Russell Lee’s MALU Credentials
Dear Ms. Fleming: We write, for the second
time, on behalf of Matthew Russell Lee
Confirm Melissa Fleming's receipt of, and
response to, the attached letter about
restoring me to resident correspondent
status immediately [more to come]
On Gaza, some reported that UN Spokesman
(Dujarric) around 10 pm on Oct 12
"announced" Israel's request - immediately
state where and to whom that was announced,
and the basis
On Chinese government corruption what
are the comments and actions if any of SG
Guterres on the evidence in yesterday's US v
SBF trial in SDNY about Chinese officials
demanding $150 million to unfreeze $1
billion on two crypto currency
exchanges?
AGAIN: On UNRWA what are the comments and
actions if any of SG Guterres on the
recently passed budget in the US Department
of State, Foreign Operations, and Related
Programs Appropriations Act, which includes
"heightened scrutiny of the UN agency
assisting Palestinian refugees and would
deny funding to move the US embassy in
Israel out of Jerusalem. A report from the
House Appropriations Committee accompanying
the bill notes the US Congress’s
“longstanding concerns” that the UN Relief
and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in
the Near East (UNRWA) supports educational
programs that promote incitement to violence
against Israelis and Jews. “The committee
notes the longstanding concerns that
educational materials used in UNRWA schools
induce incitement or are otherwise
inconsistent with the values of human
rights, dignity, and tolerance,” the report
says. “The committee is further concerned by
the United States Government’s lack of
visibility on the curricula utilized in
UNRWA schools given these allegations and
the United States’ status as a significant
donor to UNRWA.” The US secretary of
state would have 30 days to designate
someone to review “a significant and
representative selection of textbooks and
other educational materials utilized by
UNRWA schools in the West Bank and Gaza.”
On UN corruption and lack of answers, after
each of your have refused Inner City Press'
questions about those UN linked individuals
indicted in SDNY, explain this: "Francis
Lorenzo was still able to freely walk the
halls of the institution at that time, and
only lost his U.N. ID several years later,
when it expired in August 2018, U.N.
spokesman Dujarric said" - confirm or deny
that the UN continued to let Lorenzo in fact
not only his indictment for bribery, but
also his guilty plea, while banning Inner
City Press which exposed and reported on it
AGAIN on UN sexual abuse, immediately
provide all if-asked info and what if
anything has been done for the victim(s) of
the UN child rape in DRC data dumped on the
UN web site on September 21 about sexual
exploitation by a Cameroon "peacekeeper" of
a child - why is that not called rape? and
of Sept 20 - amid UNGA - about sexual abuse
by a Cameroon peacekeeper in CAR, and on
Sept 12-13 about sexual abuse by Uganda and
S Africa troups and a child rape by a UN
"civilian" in DRC
Immediately explain the basis for a
$800 or $2000 charge to hear "H.E." Melissa
Fleming speak during UNGA week. Is she still
going to appear?
On UN
censorship of Press, immediately explain
why MALU and each of you has not even
responded to Inner City Press' June 19,
2023 application to enter and cover UNGA
week in September, but have allowed in -
as resident correspondents - many who have
published nothing, while Inner City Press
Aug 11, 2023 report has already been
reported in, among others, India, Hungary, France, Greece, Argentina, Spain, Taiwan, Germany, etc
July 20-1: Now that Hugo Carvajal has been
extradited and is being detained in the US,
presentment covered by Inner City Press
which UN continues to ban, what are SG
Guterres' comments on Carvajal telling the
Spanish judiciary of payments of drug money
to a number of sitting leaders who plan to
attend the 2023 UNGA week - which Inner City
Press has applied, on June 19 and as
inquired about, to cover? When will that
application be ruled on?
July 17-1: On UN sexual abuse cases recently
data dumped, immediately provide the
if-asked information about the new MONUSCO
cases, Tanzanian and "civilians" with
nationality withheld - why? - and
immediately explain, as to the
Tanzanian UN Peacekeeper in MINUSCA in
2022-3 what Child - Transactional "no sex"
means.
What are
the comments and actions if
any of SG Guterres on the
release of arms trafficking
(and sometime-UN partner)
Viktor Bout, in exchange for
US star Griner? Disclose all
business on the UN with Bout
and his companies.
Again, now will direct quote
from USG Michaud, and more on
appeal now to each of you,
since DSS despite its
statements to PGA's
spokesperson has yet to
confirm receipt of appeal: On
appeal Inner City Press filed
yesterday with USG Gilles
Michaud and each of you, as
UNPGA Csaba Korosi's
spokesperson Paulina Kubiak
said UN DSS Sergeant told her
is the process, (1) confirm
receipt, (2) explain why USG
Michaud previously wrote that
DSS' only role was to ensure
that journalists whose
accreditation was stripped by
DGC did not enter -- see the
message in Dec 7 questions,
from Gilles Michaud
gilles.michaud@un.org
and see UN Media Accreditation
& Liaison Unit Guidelines
for ‘Non- Resident
Correspondents’ which states,
at para 2a: “Non-Resident
Correspondents can access UNHQ
through the Visitors’ Entrance
at 46th Street and 1st Avenue
between 0800-1900 hours from
Monday through Friday.
Non-resident Correspondents
only have access to UNHQ on
weekends or after hours
accompanied by a resident
correspondent or when a
meeting is advised as taking
place. Entry will be allowed
two hours prior to the start
of the meeting. At the
conclusion of the meeting, the
non-Resident correspondent
must exit the premises within
an hour, unless accompanied by
a resident correspondent.”
[Emphasis added.] The repeated
use of the word “or” in the
second sentence here:
“weekends OR after hours
accompanied by a resident
correspondent OR when a
meeting is advised as taking
place” indicates that those
conditions are alternatives,
and in addition to the regular
8am to 7pm access in the
previous sentence.
I had been on UN premises
after 7pm on numerable
occasions since he has been a
‘Non-Resident Correspondent’
in compliance with those
rules, never being challenged
by any of the DSS Security
Officers who have observed him
on each and every occasion he
has done so. He has, in fact,
been almost permanently
escorted by a UN staff member
(clearly oblivious of the
considerable financial expense
to the Organization) since
February 2016. It is clear
that the “risk” he presents is
one of public scrutiny, which
is hardly a legitimate matter
for your department. The
statement taken by officers
Perry and Stancu does not
record the time Mr. Lee
entered the UN premises on 3
July, which he states was
about 9:45am. The statement
does however confirm that Mr.
Lee was on the premises for
the purposes reporting on a
Fifth Committee Budget
meeting. That meeting is
understood to have run on
until 4am the following
morning, so it was clearly
still going on at the time he
was evicted. Mr. Lee’s
statement also reflects his
familiarity with the
Guidelines indicating that he
was required to leave the
premises within an hour of
that meeting concluding. The
Media Accreditation &
Liaison Unit guidelines -
having been published by the
UN and respected by Mr. Lee
and other members of the press
– must create a reasonable
expectation that members of
the press will not face
harassment provided their
activities remain complaint
with them. The evidence
suggests that Mr. Lee was
doing that. Moreover, as is
known to the MALU and as has
been observed by your
officers, he enjoyed that
right peaceably and without
criticism for 18 months.
ST/AI/309 provides that “all
persons on the premises are
expected to comply with the
directions that may be issued
by the security officers in
the performance of their
functions” and that is not in
dispute; but Mr. Lee was never
given an opportunity to
comply. Mr. Lee can be heard
on the video repeatedly saying
he was just typing, reporting
on what he had been told by
the Chairman of the meeting
when he had his shirt torn by
your officers. Your officers
would certainly have been
acting quite legally if Mr.
Lee represented any kind of
threat to the security of
others or to the fabric of the
building, but there is no
credible information or
independent assessment to
support such a hypothesis.
When interviewed, Mr. Lee
insists that he tried to
emphasise to Officer Perry
that he was physically
assaulted by your Security
Officers before being afforded
a reasonable opportunity to
explain or refer to the MALU
rules that apply to him, but
Officer Perry declined to
record that information.
Moreover, Lt. Dobbins actions
on 3 July cannot be considered
without reference to the
earlier incident of 22 June
and Mr. Lee’s subsequent
reporting of that event, which
raises reasonable grounds to
believe that Lt. Dobbins may
not have been performing his
duties or exercising his
discretion in good faith.
There does not appear to be
any reason to believe that Mr.
Lee had breached any rule or
posed any threat when he was
evicted.
As asked each of
you on December 5, 2022:
AGAIN, on UN's lack of press
freedom and due process -
immediately explain both the
basis for UN Security at 801
1st Ave on the morning of Dec
2 tell me I am "banned" from
entering the UN despite
confirmed invitation to UN PGA
Town Hall, and (2) the
"appeals" process that DSS
told PGA Spokesperson about
to, conveyed to
me. Audio - 2:20
min version Full
7 minutes
What is the
response of SG Guterres' / USG
Fleming to the letter sent to
her and others by the Quinn
Emanuel law firm regarding
ending Press censorship?
See "answer" August 9, here:
letter received, no change in
status - no reply.
After repeated
non-answers to the above, on
August 9 UN Spokesperson
Dujarric was asked "Quinn
Emanuel wrote a letter to the
UN asking about reinstatement
of our colleague Matthew Lee
into the UN press corps. Do
you have any comment on
that?
Spokesman: No. All I can
tell you is that we've
received the letter, and I'm
not aware of any change to his
status... It's been received.
Whether or not it's been
answered, I don't know yet."
How can the UN, which preached
press freedom, not even answer
a letter for a journalist from
a major law firm? What is your
answer? When will Inner City
Press be restored to resident
correspondent status, like
various state media?
Explain how it is
legitimate for SG Guterres'
DGC / USG Fleming and MALU
(cc-ed here) to block Inner
City Press from even WebEx
questions to UNSC President
Ireland, whose Alternate
Political Coordinator and
Spokesperson Eoghan McSwiney
wrote to Inner City Press, "We
would refer your request for
access to the UN and to UN
press conferences to the Media
Accreditation and Liaison Unit
of the UN Secretariat." You
are engaged in censorship,
no?
What is
the UN's
response to
Inner City
Press' Sept 13
application to
MALU incluing
for WebEx
access to
hybrid press
briefings
during UNGA
76, as it has
at the IMF?
Beyond last
night's

Press on Nov

Zambia and

Please immediately explain the basis,
and the compliance with due process, of MALU's
Jan 10, 2022 denial: "From: malu [at] un [dot] org
Date: Mon, Jan 10, 2022 at 3:10 PM Subject:
U.N. eAccreditation request for Matthew Lee
Ref# M58355547 has been declined To: Inner City Press
Greetings Matthew Lee from Inner City
Press, Your media accreditation request,
with reference no: M58355547, has been
declined for the following reason: [BLANK]
With kind regards, Media Accreditation
and Liaison Unit (MALU)"
Immediately respond to this January 13
statement by the Committee to Protect
Journalists when asked, in camera, about
your UN's ongoing ban on Inner City Press:
"While the UN can reasonably assert that
violating known guidelines could result in
the loss of credentials, it was not as
transparent as it could have been throughout
its investigation. We would encourage the UN
to implement a more transparent
investigation process for incidents
involving accredited press, both resident or
non-resident. Any formal process adopted by
the UN for reviewing credentials should
provide an opportunity where the journalist
is able to respond to any allegations made
against them."
Immediately provide SG Guterres' and
separately USG Fleming's explanation and
action on this UN email: " "Language
elements: Some specific examples of
language to use/not use at the
moment: “conflict” or “military
offensive” and NOT “war” or “invasion”
when referring to the situation in
Ukraine." Immediately specify, after
USG Melissa Fleming tweeted "That email
only went to about 25 staff" who the staff
were - or, why not.
On UN system corruption and abuse, what
are the comments and actions if any of SG
Guterres on Inner City Press' June 6, 2022
exclusive: former French Police
Commissaire Nicolas Hergot spends his time
tracking down leaks within the agency.
Inner City Press is here exclusively
publishing leaked evidence of his
unacceptable behavior by the basic
standards of UN officials. Inner City
Press has obtained the following document
On UN access, beyond his/your outrageous
ongoing ban on Inner City Press, what are
the comments and actions if any of SG
Guterres on the routinized and unexplained
blocking of applicant groups on May 19 in
the UN NGO Committee on such grounds as
position on Taiwan or on BRICS, and
apparently disproved charges?
What is the
status at UNOPS and in the UN
system of Vilaly
Vanshelboim?
On deadline, on the UNTSO public
sex video Inner City Press first
published and each of you
dissembled about, now state the UN
employment and payment status of
each accused staffer [here]
Again,
why did SG Guterres omit from his personal
financial disclosure covering 2016 funds he
received from Gulbenkian Foundation which
sought to sell its oil company to convicted
UN briber CEFC China Energy?
And, on ongoing
censorship of Press by SG
Guterres, USG Fleming and Spox
Dujarric, to this petition
with 9000+ signatures here
On Inner City
Press' exclusive reporting
into UNTSO's scandal of public
sex in the UN van, what are
the comments and actions if
any of SG Guterres on this,
from whistleblower: "the men
in the UNTSO car have been
charged with transporting a
passenger who was not
authorized and also for not
co-operating with the
investigation." Inner
City Press asked, "Thanks -
I'd heard they were restored
to full pay." Answer:
"Still suspended, but have
been getting salary for a
year. Now they have been
accused of conduct
unbecoming."
Confirm or deny - and explain
the long cover up, for/of
Michael Antoine.
On UNDT opacity,
on which you have refused to
answer, explain why on August
26, a supposedly "public" case
was held - but the access link
was dead, not only to Inner
City Press but to the public
at large: "UNDT/NBI/2020/022
(Mancinelli) The Applicant
contests the Administration’s
finding of misconduct and
imposition of a disciplinary
sanction against her."
After
UNDT purported to order me to destroy evidence
of sexual harassment by UN staff Padula, AGAIN
what are the responses of SG Guterres and his
consigliere Soares, UN General Counsel now
that the appeal has been acknowledged and said
to be on ePortal with case number? "Weicheng
Lin 9:39 AM Dear Mr. Lee, I
acknowledge receipt of your
filing. Case: UNAT/2020/1502 Dear
Respondents, We received an Appeal of
UNDT Orders 178 (NY/2020) and 179 (NY/2020)
filed by Mr. Lee on 21 December 2020.
Mr. Lee who is not a staff member nor a party
to the case of the Applicant filed an appeal
against these orders with the Appeals
Tribunal. The Registrar accepted the
submissions and instructed that they be
transmitted to the parties in the UNDT
proceedings, and the Secretary-General for
comments within 30 days."
How is it acceptable that each of your takes
public money and refuses to answer or even
acknowledge Press questions, including about
UN staff's sexual abuse?
On SG son Pedro
Guimarães e Melo De Oliveira
Guterres, explain how the
business of Explorer
Investments has been reviewed
for conflicts of interest.
Explain immediately how Pedro
Guterres doing business with
Rwanda while Antonio Guterres
was UNSG was and is not a
conflict, and what was
disclosed and to whom.
Immediately explain, given the Amir Dossal
was on board of Epstein's procurer Ghislaine
Maxwell's Terramar Project and Inner City
Press has repeatedly asked you each about in
writing, how Spokesman Dujarric's Oct 30 on
camera statement is not aware of any other
UN connection to Epstein, beyond IPI, was
and is not a lie and cover up.
Again, why did Guterres not list
Gulbenkian, linked to CEFC China Energy, in
his disclosure covering 2016? What are
Guterres' comments on IPI and Epstein, why
would he not say why he left the board? Why
has he not quit Club of Madrid? Why was Amir
Dossal on Board of Terramar of Ghislaine
Maxwell
