Accountability

UN GATE, June 1 –
The United Nations claims to
have a zero tolerance for
sexual exploitation by its
staff and peacekeepers, but
routinely covers up their
abuses including the rape of
children, withholding basic
information which was provided
to the Press under Ban Ki-moon
but not now under Antonio
Guterres.
Inner City
Press previously expanded its
exclusive
reporting into UNTSO's
scandal of public sex in the
UN van, with information from
UN whistleblowers in Jerusalem
and New York: "the men in the
UNTSO car have been charged
with transporting a passenger
who was not authorized and
also for not co-operating with
the investigation."
On April 14, 2022, hearing from
whistleblowers again, Inner City Press emailed
Guterres et al., "On deadline, on the UNTSO
public sex video Inner City Press first
published and each of you dissembled about,
now state the UN employment and payment status
of each accused staffer.,"
Dujarric did not answer, but in the
noon briefing said two have been "separated"
and one remains on the payroll. He would not
say which one, calling it confidential. He
laundered it through friendly Al Jazeera,
which didn't even remember what country it
happened in (even though it was Israel).
Jump cut
to June 1, 2023 when Agence France Presse tried
to help save the UN's bacon, "fact
checking" that the video, that
typically it refused to credit, was
NOT in Africa. And so it's OK? Haq,
misidentified by AFP "Fact Check" as
Aziz, lied like Dujarric that
there had been accountability.
This is the scam "Verify" of
Melissa Fleming - lie
to protect the UN, and pretend it
is fact
checking. We'll
have more on this.
Alongside the
cover-up by Antonio Guterres
and his spokespeople Stephane
Dujarric and Melissa Fleming,
who refuse Inner City Press'
written questions and ban it
from entering to ask
in-person, as state media and
retirees are allowed to do
(but don't ask about this),
delay under UN due process
rules for sex abusers but not
journalists:
"The Assistant
Secretary-General for Human
Resources Management may
seek further information
from any relevant source. Any
new additional
information received by
the Assistant
Secretary-General must be
provided to the staff
member for a further
response. The staff member
shall be given two weeks to
respond to such
additional information. The
staff member may request, in
writing, additional time
to respond."
Meanwhile,
the Press which asks about
this thrown out without due
process, and no response even
to polite letter from Quinn
Emanuel law firm, video here.
We'll have more on all this.
There's more:
illegal smuggling of alcohol
involving Syria and the UN's
Judy Hylton, below.
Inner City Press, which
Guterres has banned from the
UN for 1070 days as it asks
about these and his abuses, on
June 23, 2020 received from
outraged UN whistleblowers
video of sexual exploitation,
they said, in a white
UN-marked vehicle, here.
Now Instagram,
Facebook.
Now on the
morning of June 6, this
exclusive: The three members
from UNTSO who were involved
in that disgraceful act within
a U.N. vehicle in Tel Aviv 12
months ago remain part of the
mission on full pay one year
later. The Head of
Mission General Lund is
investigation for fraud and
misuse of entitlements by
Norway and others.
The
Mission Senior advisor Judy
Hylton is under
investigation for abuse
of authority. The
smuggling of alcohol in a U.N.
VIP vehicle across borders
from Jordan, Syria and
Lebanon. She is also
under investigation for
exceeding the two years
secondment in
UNTSO. She has
been in UNTSO from UNHQ for
five years.
A
dysfunctional HQs. Open
infighting between mission
leadership members. Two of the
five mission leadership now
under serious OIOS
investigation. No wonder the
junior staff members feel self
entitled and act without
accountability. This is the UN
of Guterres and his in-house
enablers.
Jump cut to
June 3, 2021, when UN insider
Pass Blue ran a story
falsely crediting another for
the June 24 publication of the
video - and implying that it
an unfair attack on the UN.
What a scam.
The
article ignores that the UNDT
held proceedings, and that UN
Spokesman Stephane Dujarric
said on camera that three
staff were suspended without
pay, then never updated when
they were restored to pay. All
of this could have been or was
known to Pass Blue from simple
Google searches. But either
they have an agenda, or are
incompetent, or both. Before
this article, Inner City Press
tweeted
it, and submitted a
comment, now blocked in
"moderation."
A full day
later, Pass Blue put up one
comment on the piece (only
about Israel and Palestine)
and disppeared the comment
Inner City Press submitted;
the piece's author, Maurizio
Guerrero we report a day later
with a heavy heart, previously
wrote to Inner City Press,
"definitely there are some
that want you out of the UN,
as a punishment." We'll have
more on this. June 4 stand-up
here.
Those who
feign to scrutinize the UN
love this blue wash. But it is
one of the reasons it's
UNreformed.
Inner City
Press named to the UN the two
men in the UN van: Michael
Antoine and Ray Millan. The UN
did not answer Inner City
Press, but on July 2 Guterres'
spokesman Stephane Dujarric
said Antoine and Milan were no
longer being paid.
Since
September 9, this has been a
lie as to Antoine, but
Dujarric did not answer Inner
City Press questions on
September 14, see below.
On September 28,
despite Inner City Press' IP
address being blocked from the
UN's and UNDT's websites, we
reported that Millan, too, has
been restored to full pay:
"the Tribunal is satisfied
that the nature of the alleged
conduct and its unfortunate
publicity... The
application, therefore, is
granted to the extent it seeks
to suspend the “unpaid” aspect
of administrative leave." UNDT
decision we've put on
DocumentCloud here.
And from Guterres and
Dujarric, nothing. They are
lying about UN sexploitation.
And UN
staff have complained to UN
about another video, here,
which they have raised to
Guterres' compromised OIOS
investigators without action,
here. They say "I was very
happy to see how Inner City
Press first published a video
about UN staff having a sexual
act inside a UN vehicle in
Israel. It is thanks to you
they have started an
investigation and some actions
were taken against those
shameless UN staff.
A video of 1st
September 2020 in Damascus
involving a senior UN
official, Mr. John Marks,
Chief of UNICEF Operations in
Syria. John and female UN
staff are having a sexual act
with an open window in the
Four Seasons Hotel in
Damascus. A female staff
member is UNHCR Public
Information Officer Mysa
Khalaf, ex-Al Jazeera
journalist, joining UN three
years ago. Here is the John
Marks video in youtube
https://youtu.be/sAOtsyuY4o0
. This shameful video
was taken by a local Syrians
in the street next to the
hotel. It was circulated
inside Syria on Facebook and
other social media. A lot of
anger and negativity towards
the UN because of this. Locals
now hate the UN because of
this video in social media.
Person in the video says in
Arabic that these people are
shameless. The Four Seasons
Hotel in Damascus is where UN
staff is accommodated in Syria
for many years now. A senior
UN official like John Marks,
cannot behave in this manner,
showing disrespect to local
traditions and culture in
Syria. It is unacceptable. He
is in Syria for humanitarian
reason and not for having sex
with open widow showing to
Damascus. Although
this video was reported to UN
New York, UNICEF HQ in NY and
UNHCR HQ in Geneva. Senior
Management in both UNICEF and
UNHCR are all trying to cover
it. Nothing was done to these
two UN Staff so far. Their
behaviour is shameful for the
UN and does not match with
code of International Civil
Servants and UN Humanitarian
workers. They both work for
humanitarian agencies UNICEF
and UNHCR and people in Syria
are desperate with the
conflict situation and living
with humanitarian crises.
These kind of acts in public
undermine entire humanitarian
work. This is
Guterres' UN.
Inner City
Press has exclusively
published audio of OIOS' Ben
Swanson saying that one of
Guterres' Assistant
Secretaries General thrust his
hand down the pants of a
female staffer - and Guterres,
"a politician," said to cover
it up. Audio
here, here
on Patreon.
Inner City
Press will continue to demand
re-accreditation. It has been
nearly three years, with no
appeal, no roadmap, pure
corrupt censorship.
Despite
the story now being reported
from Austria
to Israel
to Switzerland,
those let in from Al Jazeera
and other publications asked
nothing. We'll have more on
this. Watch this site.
