As UN Counts on Public Funds Cuts Word Lengths and 42 St Entrance as Bans Press

UN GATE, March 4 –  How corrupt and decrepit has the UN system become under Antonio Guterres, in this case due to Guterres? Today's example is from the Office of the High Commission for Human Rights, to which Guterres appointed his unqualified crony Volker Turk more than two years ago.

  On March 3 in Geneva, Turk pontificated that in today's US, "threats, notably against journalists, risk undermining the work of independent media." Volker Turk is a hypocrite.

Turk as a staffer on Guterres' 38th floor did nothing when his boss Guterres had the critical Press roughed up and thrown out. There has been no due process since, not even a response to Guterres' Melissa Fleming to a pro bono inquiry for Inner City Press from the law firm Quinn Emanuel. Some human righters.

Now as Spox Stephane Dujarric laughs at budget cuts, DPPA "Peacekeeping" tells staff "Amongst other things, the 42nd street staff entrance will be closed, and all personnel will have to use the visitors entrance at 46th street.  We have also been asked to reduce the word count of all SG reports due by 1 April or later by 10%; there are also provisions governing annexes and requests for waiver." An entrance they already banned Press from.
