UN GATE,
Nov 9 – How corrupt is today's
UN under Antonio Guterres?
Today's follow up is on his
mission in South Sudan,
UNMISS, about which his
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Melissa Fleming refuse all
Press questions. Inner City
Press has asked them, and
others, about the newest sex
abuse case against the UN
there. Now this, from a UN
whistleblower sent to Inner
City Press:
Dear Mr. Matthew
Russell Lee:
...Victoria
Browning, director of the UN
mission in South Sudan,
allegedly instructed Chief
Rabi Burathoki to block emails
from whistleblowers exposing
corruption and illicit
activities within the UNMISS
compound. According to staff
sources, this coordinated
group acts with impunity,
committing actions against
staff members while reportedly
accessing their emails without
their knowledge, recording
their conversations, and
taking photos without
consent—actions staff describe
as unacceptable and criminal
within the UN.
This alleged
surveillance, they claim, aims
to intimidate staff and deter
them from disclosing illegal
activities. Staff members
suggest that the Office of
Internal Oversight Services
(OIOS) fails to perform its
role effectively, citing
conflicts of interest and
claims of the office as an
instrument for retaliation.
Allegedly, some personnel
within OIOS have compromised
their professional standards
by fostering close
relationships with senior
staff, which staff claim
influences their actions,
compromises standard operating
procedures, and undermines
transparency.
It is
Guterres, they say, who should
resign - and end censorship.
