UN GATE, Jan 17, audio – For a United Nations "Civil Society Town Hall" meeting on December 2, 2021 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.
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.
In the six weeks since, nothing from the UN, no answers from the PGA spokesperson and staff who have been emailed every weekend. But now Korosi is setting sail (and sale) for China: he'll "travel to China, where, in addition to meeting with senior Government officials, he is expected to visit the International Research Centre of Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals – this is a tool to help support the SDGs." That's just was Ashe (RIP) and Kutesa said. Vaguely it is added: " And let me take a moment here to stress that the President has very firm rules that he created when he took office. Those include never traveling first class, nor accepting any gifts." Well, when you won't answer any questions from, and are complicit in the ban of, the Press which asks about these policies, from Ashe through Kutesa to Korosi, there is no credibility. We'll have more on this.
Weeks later, after a UN DSS Sergeant told the PGA's spokesperson to tell the Press there is an appeals process, the UN has not even confirmed receipt of the appeal - it was sent to these:
gilles.michaud@un.org, melissa.fleming@un.org, AG <ag@un.org>, Amina Mohammed <amina.mohammed@un.org>, opga@un.org, Paulina Kubiak <kubiakp@un.org>, Stephane Dujarric <dujarric@un.org>, Farhan Haq <haqf@un.org>, Eri Kaneko <kaneko@un.org>, Mona.Juul@mfa.no, courtenay.rattray@un.org cc: sc1.pminy@mea.gov.in, media.newyorkpmi@mea.gov.in, india@un.int, opga@un.org, laszlo.szoke@un.org, fernando.marani@un.org, adel.hriczu@un.org, janina.hasse@un.org, madiusca.batista@un.org, fahad.alajmi@un.org, shane.dowling@un.org, carolina.popovici@un.org, johannes.cullmann@un.org, fernando.delamora@un.org, eva.schafer@un.org, sim.mellouh@un.org, bogna.ruminowicz@un.org, zeynep.celikel@un.org, peter.stone@un.org, sarah.weissmaudi@un.org, nishimura@un.org, adib.abdurrohman@un.org, judit.cziko@un.org
Not one of these has confirmed receipt - they are complicit in censorship, and in UN lies. These take public money, and don't even answer their mail. Others have been sent it since. Watch this site.
