UN GATE, July 11 – The United Nations claims to have a zero tolerance for sexual exploitation by its staff and peacekeepers, but routinely covers up their abuses including the rape of children, withholding basic information which was provided to the Press under Ban Ki-moon but not now under Antonio Guterres.
Inner City Press, which Guterres has banned from the UN for 733 days as it asks about these and his abuses, on June 23 received from outraged UN whistleblowers video of sexual exploitation, they said, in a white UN-marked vehicle, here. Now Instagram, Facebook.
Inner City Press named to the UN the two men in the UN van: Michael Antoine and Ray Milan. The UN did not answer, see below.
Now after the UN told others, misleadingly, that it has disciplined two men, Inner City Press can report this about the third man, the driver: "The driver works in Procurement for UNTSO." Procurement indeed. What about the driver was an obvious question not pursued by the in-house bought off UN press corpse. But Inner City Press is pursuing it.
After publishing the above, multiple sources contacted Inner City Press with the name of the driver: Juan Carlos Cunillera. Here is in on an UNTSO procurement form; he previously worked for the UN in Haiti, where sex exploitation morphed into the killing of 10,000 Haitians by the UN.
Inner City Press can now report: the procurement driver Juan Carlos Cunillera comes from the Dominican Republic - a member of the UN Security Council. And Guterres is covering all of this up. He should resign.
On July 2, as Inner City Press asked a question, here, at the non-UN press conference on the sex trafficking indictment of Ghislaine Maxwell (who held a UN press conference in Dujarric's room), this:
"the two staff members have been placed on Administrative Leave Without Pay, pending the results and conclusion of the ongoing OIOS investigation." This was (intentionally) misreported by Xinhua and others as a strong UN action, "discipline." It is not, even by the UN's own terms, in ST/AI/2017/1 and ALWOP Section 11"
Administrative leave 11.1 In accordance with staff rule 10.4, a staff member may be placed on administrative leave with or without pay at any time after an allegation of suspected unsatisfactory conduct and pending the completion of the disciplinary process. The period of administrative leave may continue until the completion of the disciplinary process. Such action is without prejudice to the rights of the staff member and does not constitute a disciplinary measure.
Inner City Press asked, even then: And what about the driver? And Guterres and the crony he covered up for? Guterres' UN is corrupt.
Inner City Press has exclusively published audio of OIOS' Ben Swanson saying that one of Guterres' Assistant Secretaries General thrust his hand down the pants of a female staffer - and Guterres, "a politician," said to cover it up. Audio here, here on Patreon.
Guterres' OIOS investigations are a politicized scam. A fish rots from the head - Guterres covers up for his Assistant Secretary Generals grabbing crotches, and for whoring by UNTSO staff. Guterres should resign.
On July 1 AFP reported of the UNTSO video that "It was originally published on June 23 on the Twitter account of Inner City Press, a blog in open conflict with the UN, which has been denied access "for 721 days" , said its author Matthew Lee. The account claimed a few days later that this scene was filmed in Tel Aviv (Israel)." [Would they say that the Rappler is "in open conflict" with Duterte?]
The UN after Inner City Press' video went viral claimed they were quickly investigating; a French journalist even (falsely) reported that sanctions had already been announced.
But now, days after Inner City Press identified to the UN the nationality and then the names of the men in the vehicle, nothing. It is another cover up by Guterres, this time funded not only by taxpayers but also IKEA and Pierre Omidyar.
Michael Antoine has both Trinidadian and US citizenship - and quite a history. Inner City Press previously asked the UN about him (for example here). and his sponsor / Godfather Fadil Abdullah, since promoted out to UNICEF in Sudan. Inner City Press asked the UN about him, again, in 2019, here - no answer. UN cover ups.
Whistleblowers exclusively tell Inner City Press this is being covered up: Antoine is "protected." He is known in all the bars of Jerusalem. The military observers know him as the jackass. That is his nickname. Military observers were told not to place complaints about his antics, that nothing would be done. They would see his UN vehicle out late in the bars in Jerusalem. He would drive with Ray to Haifa Russian bars. Ray Milan and Antoine would also use prostitutes regularly. Senior management refuse to address the misdeeds of civilian staff. Antoine is part of culture of civilian UN staff who are undisciplined and there is no accountability. Antoine had many Palestinian girlfriends and this would also cause problems for UN. Guterres is to blame for this.
Inner City Press will continue to demand re-accreditation. It has been two years, with no appeal, no roadmap, pure corrupt censorship.
Despite the story now being reported from Austria to Israel to Switzerland, those let in from Al Jazeera and other publications asked nothing. We'll have more on this. Watch this site.
