UN GATE, Sept 14 – Six days before the UN's hyped and often decadent General Assembly week, Secretary General Antonio Guterres on September 14 held a briefing with friendly journalists only, delivering a lengthy answer in Portuguese with no translation.
This came after a year of UN failure on Ukraine, Haiti, and corruption in the DR Congo exposed by Inner City Press.
Guterres and his head of media access Melissa Fleming have kept Inner City Press banned, most recently not even responding to its application last week to enter and cover the UNGA week.
While Guterres sufficiently serviced the Permanent Five members of the UN Security Council to grab a second term, now he is spreading his censorship to and through them.
On September 15 US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield will limit questions about USUN's work, weak on China, to correspondents accredited - and not banned - by Guterres' UN. Watch this site.
