UN GATE, Dec 7, audio – For a United Nations "Civil Society Town Hall" meeting on December 2, Inner City Press was invited and had its RSVP confirmed - but on First Avenue, was told it is "banned from the UN." Tweeted audio here. Full 7 minute audio here.
Jump cut to December 7 when the US Mission to the UN, which has done nothing about the banning of US-based Inner City Press with its appeal not even confirmed receipt of, was pontificating in ECOSOC about the importance of civil society. It could not even get India to side with it. But because it got 12 to abstain, it will claim it prevailed - in a UN which bans US-based investigative Press from its Civil Society Town Hall, and Amb Linda Thomas-Greenfield celebrates a group with Iran's IRIB in it - watch this site.
Back on December 2, the Spokesperson for UN PGA Csaba Korosi, Paulina Kubiak, said that the appeals process is to writing to the UN Security Investigations Unit, and "Police Chief." That she subsequently despite the promises on the linked audio did not provide the addresses is telling. But the UN claims there is an appeals process.
So midday on December 5 Inner City Press sent its appeal to UN Security boss Michaud, with cc's to SG Antonio Guterres, DSG Amina J. Mohammed, the spokespeople, Melissa Fleming, and a dozen at the PGA's Office, which said there is an appeals process. Letter here. Watch this site.
