UN GATE, April 16 – In the United Nations under Antonio Guterres, there is nothing but failure and excuses and fundraising on crises like Ukraine, Burma, Haiti and Cameroon.
There is impunity for sexual abuse by peacekeepers and UN staff like Juan Carlos Cunillera, just "along for the ride" during the UN sex-in-the-van exposed by Inner City Press.
But now as we looked at and asked about Guterres' omission of his links to UN briber CEFC China Energy, leading to him banning the Press (and Melissa Fleming continuing the ban, not even answering a law firm's pro bono letter), let's look at other officials:
Alicia Barcena, in the same job for more than a decade, with big holdings, here:
Residential property, Chile
Residential property, jointly owned, Chile
Two (2) real properties, jointly owned, Mexico
Two (2) residential properties, Mexico Mortgage, Banco Santander
Personal loan, UNFCU
Barcena threatened to have Inner City Press thrown out of the UN, and has stood by and done nothing as Guterres and Fleming have maintained the ban. No friend of Press freedom.
We'll have more on this.
