SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 31 – How corrupt and undemocratic is today's United Nations? They sent Swiss police to the house of whistleblower Emma Reilly who, like Inner City Press, timely filed to oppose a second term for Antonio Guterres.
Now they have taken a first step to fire Reilly, claiming that it is irrelevant whether or not OHCHR shared the names of Uighur dissidents coming to testify in Geneva with the Chinese government for worse forms of retaliation. This is the disgusting UN of Guterres.
Now that Guterres has stolen a second five-year term, while banning the Press for the 1225th day for daring to ask about his finances and failures, he has collaborators.
The current President of the General Assembly Volkan Bozkir, a strongman from Turkey who due to his bigoted comments even pro-UN New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wouldn't meet with, had the duty of circulating letters from candidates.

Subject: Application for post of Secretary-General
To: opga@un.org, tegan.brink@un.org, usun.newyork Matthew R. Lee (@InnerCityPress / @MatthewLeeICP)
Your Excellencies, Kindly find attached my application for the post of Secretary-General, along with a document outlining accountability gaps that serves as my vision statement. As I note in my cover letter, I intend this application to raise necessary questions about UN reform, ensuring that election by acclamation is not abused to further weaken accountability of UN staff who commit misconduct. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Emma Reilly.
And how did Emma Reilly hear back from the UN of Guterres? She says they sent Swiss Police to her home, ironically while she was supposed to be on a Zoom meeting about whistleblowers, see here.
It's called swatting. This is how corrupt the UN has become under Guterres, who Emma Reilly says should resign. Inner City Press - and many others - agree. Watch this site.
