UN GATE,
May 25 – How corrupt and
decrepit has the UN system
become under Antonio Guterres,
in this case due to Guterres?
Today's example is again from
the Office of the High
Commission for Human Rights,
to which Guterres appointed
his unqualified crony Volker
Turk more than two years ago.
From OHCHR
staff - "Dear Matthew Russell
Lee, Many thanks for exposing
corruption in UN under Antonio
Guterres and his cronies like
Volker Turk
Two weeks touring the Far East Asia
with a press officer, a favorite and a
cameraman, Tourist Turk has got not so much
back but a copy of the Universal Declaration
for Human Rights in Mongolian language! He
could have ordered that in Amazon or EBay for
15$ rather than wasting $50,000 tax payers
(mainly unearmatked XB for him and his
entourage). Did he raise any uncomfortable
topics in Mongolia, Korea and Japan? Or was he
just in another comfortable trip? Asia is
only for tourism (tell China. What is Tourist
Turk’s record on China?). Is this what
is expected from a UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights? Is this what is expected from a
senior UN official at a time of
austerity? What is the cost of his
irrelevant trips? Volker Turk has wasted
thousands of tax payers dollars in
redecorating Palais Wilson that he will have
to return soon to Geneva municipality.
Amb Waltz, the
ball is on your court."
Fat chance.
So far,
nothing from Mike Waltz.
Meanwhile both Big Tony and
Amina junketed on April 15 to
the IMF which Inner City Press
is accredited to cover, and at
which it asked questions - but
not of Tony, as UNCTAD denied
Inner City Press to its "side
event." The UN is dying, or
being killed off.
There's a new
NextSG candidate, Maria
Fernanda Espinosa. Two days
ago she and her sponsor
Antigua and Barbuda were sent
a questionnaire about about
this. So far, nothing. Watch
this site.
Inner City Press
re-applied to re-enter the UN
on June 19, 2025 - no answer
at all from Melissa Fleming,
Tel Mekel, Stephane Dujarric
for six months, then a denial
with no reason at all given.
Today's UN is corrupt.
