UN GATE / SDNY, July 15 – The United Nations has a growing record of rapes by its peacekeepers, including of children, under Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
Inner City Press has reported on the escalation in UN rapes, even after Guterres had it thrown out of the UN and banned since.
On July 15, Guterres named a new head of UN Sexual Exploitation and Abuse: Christian Saunders. It is no coincidence. Saunders oversaw the physical ouster of Inner City Press from the UN on July 3, 2018, as it covered the murky deal-making around the UN's $6 billion budget, video here.
(Since the ouster and ban, Guterres' head of Media Acceditation Melissa Fleming has refused to respond, including to a polite letter from pro bono law firm Quinn Emanuel, here.)
The July 15 announcement was made by UN Spokesperson Farhan Haq (lead spokesman Stephane Dujarric is on vacation) - and none of the few correspondents in the day's noon briefing asked anything about it.
The UN is dying, entirely unaccountable. Watch this site.
