UN GATE, Dec 10 – How corrupt is today's UN system under Antonio Guterres? The UN General Assembly raised the mandatory age of retirement in the UN to 65 years . The ICSC regularly monitors the implementation of the mandatory age of retirement in the organizations of the UN common system and report to the General Assembly. However, it is now clear that the ICSC staff members closed to the ICSC Chair, Mr. Larbi Djacta, are treated differently than other retiring UN staff, whistleblowers tell Inner City Press.
The ICSC Chair, Mr. Larbi Djacta has been repeatedly extending his favorites beyond the mandatory retirement age and delaying years to replace them with new staff with the necessary credentials, including advance degrees (Djacta's favorite senior staff lack any advanced degrees or credentials, then same as him). Some of those vacancies for these posts were announced early last year, but so far, no actions have been taken to select the candidates who applied for these posts numerous times due to reannouncements of those vacancies as a delay tactic.
[Last year Inner City Press exclusively reported: On January 26, 2022 contacted by UN whistleblowers, Inner City Press asked Guterres and his spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming questions including "On USG Larbi Djacta, ICSC chair, the resume states Masters Degree St John's University 1991-93. Please immediately state a Masters Degree IN WHAT." 23 months later, no answer at all. This is fraud.
Here is the relevant information on one of those positions - Chief of Human Resources Policies at D-1 level in the ICSC
Meantime, the former Executive Secretary of the ICSC, Ms. Regina Pawlik at D-2 level has recently resigned her position well before her mandatory age of retirement. The news is that she had enough with too many deviations from the UN rules and regulations and the ICSC’s stipulations, including repeated violations of the UN financial controls, especially in the travel expenses and DSA payments for the ICSC Chair and his favorites. So, it seemed that she did not want to be part of this game anymore... Show time again in the ICSC and wait for more news on these - watch this site.
