In OHCHR of Volker Turk Staff Celebrate Nada Departure Say More Tony Cronies To Go



In OHCHR of Volker Turk Staff Celebrate Nada Departure Say More Tony Cronies To Go

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, Feb 16 –  How corrupt and decrepit has the UN system become under Antonio Guterres, in this case due to Guterres? Today's example is again from the Office of the High Commission for Human Rights, to which Guterres appointed his unqualified crony Volker Turk more than two years ago.

 From OHCHR staff: "Dear Matthew Russell Lee: Dear Matthew Russell Lee There is little hope in corrupt Guterres UN. Today crony Volker Turk announced his new deputies. As expected, apparatchik Awa Dabo will replace Nada. al Nashif. OHCHR staff celebrates Nada’s departure.

 Nada Al Nashif, “soulless Nada, “cruel Nada” as she is know by the staff, leaves after 6 years as deputy High Commissioner. Nada Al Nashif leaves a record of mistreatment of staff (mainly young women), nepotism favoring her nationals like Mohamed Al An Sour and other, promoting corrupt and incapable like Kim Taylor, Maarit Kohonen or Nils Clouseau or using donors funds to cover mismanagement and retaliate against whistleblowers.

Worse OIOS knows about it but has been covering her corruption.  After 6 Years Nada Al Nashif leaves a dubious record of being despised by civil society and member states and hates by staff. Unfortunately her record of corruption will not be investigated by OIOS. Nada will try to escape a well deserved investigation. Still, todays announcement is something that most OHCHR will celebrate ( still many cronies to go). 

 Volker Turk’s term ends in September 2026. Member states must ensure he is not extended by his master, Uber-corrupt Tony Guterres."

Inner City Press re-applied to re-enter the UN on June 19, 2025 - no answer at all from Melissa Fleming, Tel Mekel, Stephane Dujarric for six months, then a denial with no reason at all given. Today's UN is corrupt.
