GATE, April 11
–
How corrupt is today's UN
under Antonio Guterres? Well,
even those few UN officials
bounced for corruption are
simply re-hired, and no one
answers why.
Inner City Press
today publishes this, from a
whistleblower:
In June 2015 a
UNOPS P3 IT officer working at
UNGSC- SGITT, Valencia, was
informed that his appointment
was terminated for misconduct,
after submitting a fraudulent
insurance claim. Here
Yet, in December
2018, the former UNOPS officer
was rehired at UNGSC- SGITT,
this time in Brindisi, on a
higher and stabler position,
P4 within the
Secretariat. Three years
later, in August 2021, he was
“charged with serious
misconduct for submitting
false information in his job
application” and was fired
again from UN in April 2022. here
How could
this occur? A former employee
from the UN system fired for
misconduct, then hired again
in the UN system; who
authorised the rehiring?
The UN HR Portal provides:
“The head of
department/office/mission
makes the selection decision
for positions up to and
including the D-1 level on the
basis of the recommendation by
the hiring manager. “
Can UNGSC-SGITT
management claim being unaware
of the past of the ex-UNOPS
officer?
The UN Dispute
Tribunal sentence was
pronounced in 2016, two years
before the former UNOPS staff
was offered a position with
UNGSC. The
previous position was also
with UNGSC - SGITT, whose
management is the same as in
2015.
The SGITT head
holds this position since
2010. Both the ex-UN employee
fired twice for misconduct and
the SGITT chief are from
Canada, and both worked for
the Canadian Forces: one
between1989 and 1998 and the
SGITT chief until 1994 Michel
Bergeron
No
explanation, from Guterres,
Courtenay Rattray, nor lawyer
Serpa Soares nor Melissa
Fleming, neither of whom have
answered letters from pro bono
law firms about applying free
press principles (including
Article 19) to the UN, and
readmitting Inner City Press.
We'll have more on this.
