UN GATE,
Feb 13 – The corruption
of the United Nations under
Antonio Guterres continues to
spread. Inner City Press,
banned from the UN by Guterres
for its reporting, today
publishes a detailed complaint
from the UNCLOS-created
International Seabed
Authority, no answers from
Guterres' spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming:
in November 2024,
a confidential complaint was
filed against two staff
members alleging misconduct
including harassment, gender
discrimination, retaliation
and abuse of authority. Acting
within the established
processes of the UN, including
the standards applied by the
Office of Internal Oversight
Services and the UN Ethics
Office, the former
Secretary-General initiated an
independent external
investigation and issued
measures to protect the
complainant against further
retaliation, in accordance
with his duty as chief of the
organization (head of entity).
Secretary-General
Lodge also provided a full and
comprehensive handover brief
on the matter to
Secretary-General
Carvalho.
In total defiance
of her ethical
responsibilities and her duty
as head of entity, Secretary-
General Carvalho failed to act
and indeed suppressed the
internal investigation into
misconduct.
14. Furthermore,
compounding her action, the
Secretary-General immediately
promoted the two subjects of
the complaint into positions
of authority, namely as
officer-in-charge of the
Office of Legal Affairs and
officer-in-charge of the
Office of Administrative
Services, the latter having
sent the letter of termination
to the complainant."
Inner City Press, still banned
from the UN by Guterres, will
have more on this.
