UN GATE, Feb 2 -
The UN Security Council
presidency for February is
being taken over by the United
Kingdom - while Inner City
Press remains banned from the
UN, despite its June 19, 2025
application.
On January
30 Inner City Press wrote to
the UK mission to the UN
seeking access to the February
2 "press" conference in the UN
of "Charge d'Affaires" James
Kariuki
in order to
ask questions
about items on
the UNSC's
agenda and
the UK's
seeming
sensorship
"I have
questions to
ask on what
you will do
this month
about
Venezuela,
Iran, Gaza,
UNRWA and
Sudan,
Ukraine,
Ethiopia,
Cameroon,
Yemen and
Libya -
and on ongoing
cases of
sexual abuse
and
exploitation
by UN
peacekeepers,
and Missions'
abuses in NYC,
on many of
which Inner
City Press
first reported
- Inner City
Press is
asking to be
provided with
access to your
UK mission's
stakeouts and
press
conferences
this month as
UNSC President" -
this as the UK
is embroiled
in OSA censorship.
No answer,
despite
writing
directly to
Kariuki, even
as at 8 am
on February
2 the UN's Media
Accreditation
and Liaison
Unit belatedly
announced the hybrid
- online -
presser at 1 pm
on
Febraury 2.
Meanwhile
UNSG Antonio
Guterres'
spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric refuses
to answer
written
questions.
Inner City
Press on June 19, 2025 applied
to the UN for access - amid
its the new UN Betrayals book
here, to cover the 2025UNGA
week. Only six months later,
the UN sent a denial with no
explanation, and has refused
follow-up. Inner City Press
has a NYC Press Pass and
writes about UN corruption and
waste daily. From the UK and
its UN Mission, nothing.
