UN GATE, July 27– How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres?
Well, when Hezbollah missiles killed at least 10 Israeli citizens, Guterres was silent. After an undisclosed vacation, he was on a junket in Paris. Finally he had two underlings issue a statement that didn't even name Hezbollah:
Joint Statement of UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert and UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander Lt. Gen. Aroldo Lázaro 28 July 2024 “We deplore the death of civilians - young children and teenagers - in Majdal Shams. Civilians must be protected at all times. We urge the parties to exercise maximum restraint"
Previously, when Guterres announced as his head of the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia in Beirut one Rola Dashti, he said she was Kuwaiti.
Actually, she is half Lebanese. And at ESCWA, she has given contract after contract to her contacts and cronies, down to the furniture. (This is her mismanagement and retaliation Inner City Press has already exclusively reported).
Now, we must report more - or, show more: Rola Dashti with the head of Hezbollah.
This as Guterres parties with the UN Correspondents Association, including the representative of Iran's IRIB, which broadcasts coerced videos. His spokesperson Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming have refused to answer Press questions.
This is the UN of Guterres, who has thrown out and still bans Inner City Press which asks and exposes. He is corrupt and a censor, and the UN is dying. Watch this site
