UN GATE,
Oct 10 – How corrupt is the
UN-world system under Antonio
Guterres, who bans the Press
which investigates? Today's
example is from the ITU, the
International
Telecommunication Union, whose
whistleblowers have, like
others, reached out to banned
Inner City Press:
"Lawfare in the
ITU / Pattern of Abuse of
Authority by the ITU
Secretary-General (Doreen
Bogdan-Martin or DBM) /
Cover-up of complaints or
investigations against her,
despite being "founded" or
"substantiated"
There was
an Anonymous Complaint against
DBM.... It was sent to a
number of Missions in Geneva
and has been circulating
amongst them. One of the
Missions shared it with DBM,
who then had to go through the
"ceremony" of having it
assessed.
After publication
of the above, "the news
article by Inner City Press
caused waves during ITU
Council Working Group (CWG)
meeting held October 7-9 in
Geneva.
Many following the CWG didn’t
expect a Delegate to raise the
mysterious cases against the
Secretary-General, referencing
the Inner City Press
article. The Delegate
brought up the 'noise and
innuendo outside the ITU,' and
referred to the anonymous
complaint sent to Missions and
reports published online.
Requesting that this be added
to the Council’s agenda, he
noted that the anonymous
letter and the Lawfare
article, from a 'reputable or
irreputable outlet,' require
Council’s attention because
they concern ITU’s reputation
and
leadership.
The next day,
another Delegate highlighted
the lack of transparency on
'the issue' and requested that
the CWG be 'properly' informed
without
delay.
What does the assessment
report reveal? What does
the legal opinion say?
Do these say 'unfounded', and
how many cases are
there? Will Member
States ever get the truth, or
will these documents remain
shrouded from their very own
eyes?
We'll have more,
including the complaint, on
this.
