Under Guterres Literally Vienna

Building C

UN GATE,
June 29 –
Today's UN under
Antonio Guterres is falling
apart - including literally.
While Guterres bans the Press
from UNHQ in New York, UNOV in
Vienna is a fire hazard, even
its spokesman says, if only to
UNOV/UNODC – IAEA – UNIDO –
CTBTO. Banned Inner City Press
publishes
it:
In May 2024, the Facility
Management Services (BMS)
spotted during routine
maintenance work in the C
Building that a small section
of the fire-retardant material
that covers the steel
structure of the C Building
had detached.
·
The Host
Country agency responsible for
the VIC and adjacent Austrian
Centre (IAKW) is currently
undertaking a comprehensive
assessment of the situation
and will determine what repair
work is required.
·
The Austrian authorities
determined that the building
can remain in operation and
asked the VBOs, as a
precautionary measure,
to reduce the number of people
present in the C Building by,
to the extent possible, moving
meetings to the M Building or
elsewhere.
Elsewhere?
[Note: IAKW stands for
Internationales Amtssitz und
Konferenzzentrum Wien.
