with Sex Toys in Kosovo Complained
of Banned Inner City Press

UN GATE,
Nov 17 – A recent ruling by
the UN Appeals Tribunal shows
the extent of UN corruption
and censorship under
Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres. Inner City Press has
been reported on misdeed by UN
official Sandi Arnold and
others, since before Guterres
had Inner City Press roughed
up and thrown out of the UN, banned
since.
As to
Sandi Arnold, Inner City Press
has published a number of
exclusives about sexual
harassment in the UN in
Kosovo. Now on November 11,
2024 Arnold's appeal of the
slap on the wrist doled out -
written censure - including
findings and her complaints
against Inner City Press doing
its job and reporting, and the
UNAT agreeing with her on
that.
The
decision, which Inner City
Press is publishing on its
public DocumentCloud here,
states that "some of the
reports were unofficially
disclosed to the media and
published in articles by Inner
City Press. Ms. Arnold
requested OIOS by e-mail to
take appropriate action
regarding the articles
published by Inner City
Press."
Note
that Inner City Press was
roughed up and thrown out of
the UN and that despite
written filing with OIOS,
nothing has been done: still
banned.
The UNAT
ruling continues: "the
following facts were
established: 10 (i) In
2017, Ms. Arnold gifted two
colleagues ‘sex toys’, which
they found inappropriate; (ii)
Ms. Arnold made inappropriate
sexual comments to colleagues
in the work environment and
socially; (iii) Ms. Arnold
bullied and harassed
colleagues; and (iv) One
colleague was bullied to the
point of considering
suicide."
Tellingly,
it continues that the UNDT
"regretted the leak of
information to Inner City
Press that Ms. Arnold pointed
out." Inner City Press has
been blocked from UNDT online
proceedings ostensibly open to
the public. It concludes "Ms.
Arnold’s appeal is dismissed,
and Judgment No. UNDT/2023/124
is hereby affirmed."
But Inner City
Press is still banned from
entering the UN, and none of
its written questions are
answered by Spokesperson
Stephane Dujarric or Melissa
Fleming. An
in-house UN
guide for
whistleblowers
says,
"Correspondents
from the
mainstream
media organizations
that are
members of the
UN
Correspondents
Association
generally
maintain a
very good
relationship
with the UN
Press Office
that they will
be reluctant
to
compromise."
Totally corrupt.
