UN GATE, Nov 17 – As the UN Security Council prepares to vote on competing resolutions on Gaza, disgraced but rehabilitated ex UN official Alan Doss has reappeared pontificating about his experience in such missions.
What neither Doss nor his platform disclose is that he wsa exposed by Inner City Press for having broken even UN rules asking that "leeway" be shown to hire his daughter Rebecca - and then retaliation against the non-nepo baby UN staffer who would be pushed out by the move.
Inner City Press exclusively reported it, including an interview with the so-called biter; it was begrudglingly confirmed by OIOS (which now under Antonio Guterres emails Inner City Press asking it to identify whistleblowers) and picked up by "correpondents" still inside the UN while silent on Inner City Press being banned: then Washington Post Lynch, Canada Free Press, even Devex. Doss' platform? How the UN has fallen. And Guterres' ban of Inner City Press continues, by Melissa Fleming.
As first published by Inner City Press, Alan Doss wrote
"Dear Ligia,
This is just to inform that I have advised UNDP in writing that I will transfer to DPKO effective 1 July 2009. I have also spoken to Martin and advised him that I cannot transfer before that date because the new DPKO contractual arrangements only come into effect on the 1 July. He informed me that the ‘deadline’ for the ALD contracts is 15 May so the period of overlap would only be 6 weeks (assuming Rebecca’s ALD would come into force on the 14th May at the latest). I have asked for some flexibility, which would allow a very long serving and faithful UNDP staff member a little lee-way before he rides off into the sunset.
Becky is very excited about the prospect of going to work for you so I hope that it will work out. With my warm regards and thanks,
Alan."

Dear Mr. Lee,
In reference to your email, I can only say that UNDP is currently reviewing the matter. It would be premature therefore for me to make any public comments at this stage. I can confirm, however, that I transferred to DPKO on 1 July 2009.

Here is how still UN spokesman Farhan Haq lied when Inner City Press asked:
Matthew Russell Lee, Inner City Press (UN has disappeared the video but here is the transcript):
I had asked you on Monday about a violent incident between a UN employee and security in [Building] DC-1. You’d said, among other things, that he was a frustrated jobseeker and that the hiring process was in accordance with rules. Since then Inner City Press has obtained a copy of an e-mail from Alan Doss to United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) asking them the job in question be given to his daughter and that leeway be given to him to convert from UNDP contract to DPKO to get around rules, essentially. I am wondering what, since Alan Doss is Secretary-General Ban’s envoy to the Congo, what the response is going to be; if the Secretary-General thinks it’s appropriate to have USG’s lobbying for jobs for their family members, and also why the jobseeker was tackled by three staff members and pepper-sprayed before he allegedly bit one of them. What training has DSS [Department of Safety and Security] been given to eject, in this case essentially, a whistleblower from the building?
Associate Spokesperson Farhan Haq: First of all, I challenge the use of the word “whistleblower”. This was someone who was engaged in violence; in a violent altercation, and so DSS was responding to that. This is what DSS themselves informed me about.
Not a whistleblower? The same DSS Guterres and Stephane Dujarric used to rough up and ban Inner City Press?

On November 14 the below, from UNEP whistleblower sent to Inner City Press - and to "SpeakUp [at] UN [dot] org
That email, described as allowing anonymity, is described by savvy staff as a set-up. Guterres' OIOS wrote to Inner City Press asking to confirm the identity and even location of whistleblowers. Of course the answer was no. But why would anyone sent to this faux "SpeakUp@un.org"?
Dear Matthew Russell Lee,
We are calling for your urgent attention, and action against the Executive director-UNEP. Why? Spending millions of member state funds chasing a miasdvised plastics treaty, and resulting to caniballising UNEP due to the ensuing budget deficit
Creating and disbanding divisions without due regard to CPR/member state oversight, or the upcoming UNEA#7. What is the rush for?
Admitting in staff townhalls and memos that she just "discovered" huge deficits leading to the disbandment of divisions and termination of innocent staff contracts
Implementing the misadvised "results" of a disastrous functional review without CPR/member state oversight and clearance, all these being executed a few days before UNEA#7
Terminanting massive staff contracts without any reference to CPR/member state oversight, in the same way the SG does not abolish posts without GA clearance.
We are calling on the CPR/member states and the OIOS [ha!]
Keep it coming...
Another example: the UNMISS Leadership has failed its' Staff, as a result, staff have lost confidence and trust in its Leadership and in the ongoing CRP process. On 6 Nov, in what seems like a pre-approved list shared by the UNMISS-SMG by mistake - and now given no answers published by Inner City Press on its DocumentCloud here - details some offices with specific names of International staff, to be considered for cuts.
Guterres, they say, should end censorship. Application was made on June 19, 2025, here. Still as of October 7 no answer at all from Melissa Fleming or Stephane Dujarric. Totally corrupt. Watch this site.
