UN GATE,
July 5 – 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
Please help us to expose
hypocrisy in today’s UN. Narcissist Volker
Turk shows his crocodile tears over Sudan
while warns of an “unfolding” catastrophe.
Sudan is a real drama that requires a real
High Commissioner for Human Rights not a
hypocrite.
What Volker Turk does not say is that OHCHR
presence in Sudan consists of two human rights
officers while 48 more are cozily living in
Nairobi. His previous representative (a
D2) was the first one to leave the country,
his staff and the victims when the conflict
stated. Turk’s current representative, a D1
and a long time favorite of Maarit Kohonen
Sheriff, enjoys a luxury life in Nairobi
along with 96% of her staff.
In the meantime Volker Turk warns the
World from Geneva where he has spent most of
his career as an apparatchik, wasting field
funds for his new fiasco in the making, his
Global Alliance (his recycled UDHR75). How
many millions that Volker Turk does not have
will be wasted this time?
How many staff will lose their jobs so that
Turk’s cleptocracy remain? OHCHR staff jokes
on whether El Obeid, Goma or Kharkiv will be
declared human rights cities by Volker Turk.
We do not know whether this is blindness,
hypocrisy or just narcissism. Today OHCHR is a
sad joke, an insult to the victims of human
rights violations and a reflect of Guterres’
UN. Master and puppet must go. Cronies must
go.
Amb Waltz, the
ball is on your court."
Fat chance.
So far,
nothing from Mike Waltz,
previously seen skydiving in
France then on a lone Sunday
show on CBS, unannounced -
self-booked? Now he has
blithely signed the UN
Charter. July 4, after selfies
on the ships in the harbor,
how much did he pay in US
taxpayers' money for the UN
roof? Delays on FOIA.
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.
