UN GATE,
April 13 – How corrupt is
today's UN? Conflicts of
interest multiply, and those
at the top ignore
whistleblowers' complaint. So
they write to Inner City,
which UNSG Antonio Guterres
has banned. Spokesperson
Stephane Dujarric refuses to
answer written questions, so
we publish:
"Dear Mr. Khare
This is a confidential report
of misconduct regarding Ms.
Amy Weesner, (Senior Programme
Manager / Operations Lead -
Triangular Partnerships
Programme (TPP/DSA/DOS), P-5,
Index Number 948313, DOB 4
September 1975) submitted to
you as the responsible officer
in compliance with Staff Rule
1.2 (c) and Section 2.1 (a)
(v) and Section 4 of
ST/AI/2017/1. You know very
well what Ms. Weesner has done
in violation of the staff
rules and regulations.
However, in part.
Ms. Weesner failed to declare
serious conflicts of interest
that existed between at least
November 2017 and September
2021 in that she initiated and
engaged in a sexual
relationship with her FRO/SRO
while married to another
former staff member Paul Van
Essche [Inner City Press
previously covered his PHP,
-Editor's note] who was fired
for resume fraud. Ms. Weesner
has benefited as a result of
numerous conflicts of interest
and was knowingly the
beneficiary of favorable
performance evaluations and
preferential treatment in
recruitment exercises,
including receiving a
promotion (Staff regulation
1.2(m), Staff rule 1.2(q))
.
In addition, Ms.
Weesner continued to engage in
the sexual relationship on the
proviso that her FRO/SRO also
not disclose the relationship
in violation of their
responsibilities (Staff rule
1.2(k))
I must highlight
the importance of consistency
in staff discipline. Ms.
Weesner cannot expect her own
misconduct to be blindly
ignored by the Administration
just because she is a woman
who has used sexual favors to
advance her career ambitions
and then act as a poor victim
once she had received the
promotion she sought. I am
submitting this confidential
report anonymously at this
time because I am fearful of
retaliation. I
have provided enough
information for you to
investigate and establish the
facts, most of which are
already in your files and
other investigation reports.
We will
have more on this - banned as
we are from even entering the
UN - watch this site.
