SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 19 – In the supposed human rights departments of the United Nations wrongdoers get what they pay for, as elsewhere in the UN of Antonio Guterres.
The UN "Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants," surely an important position, is one Felipe González Morales. His UN form, reviewed by Inner City Press, shows only one outside funder: China, to the tune of $130,000.
Despite China's treatment not only of Uighurs but also the openly racist treatment of Africans, particularly but not only during COVID lockdowns, Felipe González Morales has not had any criticism of China. Instead, as paid, he has focused on Italy while eying bigger fish. He bottom-fed for a moment in Niger, came under fire with IOM then went back to ground. China's $130,000 last for sometime.
But a fish rots from the head. After the China Energy Fund Committee was convicted of UN bribery, Antonio Guterres in sleaze worse that that of Felipe Gonzalez Morales omitted from his financial disclosure his link to CEFC China Energy, through the Gulbankian Founation which paid Guterres while trying to sell its oil company to CEFC.
When Inner City Press asked about the omission, it was soon roughed up by Guterres guards and has been banned from the UN ever since, no due process, no appeal, no answered.
And the UN's "human rights" machinery? Silent. Purchased. Corrupt. Inner City Press has written for reentry, here. No answer, including from a group with inviters of corruption as members. We'll have more on this.
