UN GATE, May 23 – How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Today's follow up, the first but certainly not last, is yet once again on his mission in Colombia, about which his spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming refuse all Press questions. Inner City Press has asked them, and others, about the newest sex abuse case against the UN there. Now this, from UN whistleblowers through Inner City Press:
Federico Ledesma, now chief conduct and discipline at UNVMC in Colombia has always carried a dark cloud over him. Ever since UNMIL he has been great at covering for others and covering his own perverse ways. He has been accused for sexual assault and his victims are now and for ever unable to hold a job in the organization. His abuses only incremented with his girlfriend handling the UNV program in UNIMIL. How many assaults took place? How many were silenced by him and how many by his girlfriend. We have recently received a recording of him berating a national staff who dared to question why he and Carlos Ruiz where so quick to investigate a female who had possibility of promotion and so quick to cover not one ore two but several male officers accused of sexual assault, sexual harassment and harassment in the work place. You can hear him and his officer accept that they decided to ignore the reports made by victims, and are officially hiding behind the fact that people went to them but were not asked to sign any documents."
And what is the UN of Antonio Guterres doing about all this? Nothing - but banning the Press that reports it.
We'll have more on all this. Keep the info coming.
