UN GATE, June 8 – Antonio Guterres is killing the UN, including with his failure in Cameroon and elsewhere and his lawless censorship of Press, now at 1994 days. He's put the UN in the Press Freedom Tracker, here. And so on 3 July 2019, this video, and this.
On March 14, 2022, this: "Dear Matthew, I would like to share with you the latest update in relation to the investigation for sexual abuses and frauds related to UNMIK CMS, Ms. Sandi Arnold.
As per attached UNDT judgement. Ms. Arnold, has been suspended for three months with ALWP."
And, long after Inner City Press began exposing this particular corner of UN corruption, banned from the UN by corrupt UNSG Guterres, Arnold was subject to the lightest form of discipline, a one year course. Even then, she sought anonymity, and "Contends that the present matter could reflect on her private life and sexual orientation, posing a distinct threat to her in her resident country (Turkey) and in her duty station (Pristina)." UNDT ruling now put online by Inner City Press on its DocumentCloud here.
Then on Oct 4, 2023, "8. In support of the withdrawal of her request for an oral hearing, the Applicant largely reiterated her position during the CMD that “there is no real dispute as to the facts underlying the contested decision, although there may be differences on interpretation and in the legal conclusions drawn from the facts”. She added that her decision in this regard is also motivated in part by her concerns over the confidentiality of the process."
What a joke. After finding out all of her testimony would be heard in public. If there was confidentiality needed to protect witnesses, the judge would hold in camera proceedings.
On November 7, Arnold's appeal was denied in its entirety, with the Appeals Tribunal noting she "gifted a sex toy to Ms. L. A." but not addressing the secrecy and banning of Press. The UN's scam "justice" system is just that, with the Press banned.
From whistleblowers: "Dear Mss. Pollard, Lopez, Ndiaye, Ziadeh, Kehris, Armstrong and Di Carlo, You send Ms. Arnold on sick leave (paid) in order not to be ashamed of the Administrative Leave, taking good care of herself. Whoever covers wrongdoings is an accomplice all the time. Maybe they supported the fact that Ms. Arnold had to undergo another aesthetic breast surgery, paid by Cigna (fraudulently), with the support of her friends in NY, given the great result obtained years ago, where she showed off her naked body to everybody in Marigona compound and at home with adolescents Now she is back doing exactly the same. You should think about your UNMIK colleagues and what they have experienced and are experiencing. We will continue to follow her until you do your well paid job and justice to the suffering colleagues in UNMIK. Merci
In June 2024 the order noted firing and that "the Applicant requests that her case be anonymized “due to the sensitive nature of the allegations referred to in the case, and the harm from publicity that has already occurred." That's today's UN.
