UN GATE, Nov 19 – When the UN belatedly expressed concern that Tigrayan troops in the UN Peacekeeping Mission in South Sudan were suddenly "repatriated" -- the same thing the UN does for troops from Cameroon when they are charged with rape in the Central African Republic -- its Secretary General Antonio Guterres who refuses Press questions on October 22 babbled with Blinken while his UN Appeals Tribunal concealed collusion, below.
The IMF answered Inner City Press on Ethiopia here, but Guterres' UN Spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Farhan Haq refuse to, as does November's UNSC President, the Mexico mission.
On November 19 another failure: a bland statement that would have called for release of UN staff and expressed concern at detentions based on ethnicity was shot down, by Guterres' friend (and pay-master, it seems) China, and withdrawn by the Irish Mission which likewise refuses Press questions. This is today's UN.
on August 24, Inner City Press - without any recording of which it was baselessly accused after UN sex abuse evidence was leaked to it by UN staff disgusted with Guterres' cover ups - live tweeted another UNDT proceeding from Nairobi, about collusion with the Ethiopian government, here:
now a case in UN kangaroo court in Nairobi. UNDP Country Director Samuel Bwalya is charged with conspiring with minister of Ethiopia government.
Bwalya's "lawyer" Edwin had his cross examination cut off by UNDP representative Esther Shamash. Then he was cut off altogether.
Bwalya's "lawyer" is back. UN "judge" Rachel Sikwese immediately rules to exclude evidence, and questioning, in this case about UN colluding with Ethiopia government / Minister. Now on next question, UNDP's Shamash objects. And the document is out.
The witness, who is being protected by UNDP's rep and it seems the judge, seems to be named Helina Tadisse. But that camera is not on. Unclear how any finder of fact would make a judgment about credibility.
Balwya's lawyer: So the Minister was very happy with the UN's work? Witness: He was satisfied, yes. Balwya's lawyer: In processing the procurement contract- Witness: I don't recall. I don't remember. Balwya's lawyer: You don't remember. UNDP: Asked and answered!
Balwya's lawyer: If we can go into the report, I will conclude. Judge: We are waiting. UNDP "counsel" - These matters are not before the tribunal. [Inner City Press: Like UN claims its giving of Uighur names to China is not in case of Emma Reilly
Bwalya's lawyer: Did you provide that to the ATA? Witness: I may have, I don't remember. Bwalya's lawyer: That doesn't help me much. UNDP's "counsel" - I'm being blindsided. [Reference to a bundle that is apparently not public.]
Now Judge lets UNDP "lawyer," who reps UNSG @AntonioGuterres , run the table. Guterres has had Inner City Press banned from UN briefing for 1320 days - and @UN_Spokesperson doesn't answer it questions, or Quinn Emanuel letter, video here.
Today's UN is corrupt and has not credibility.
