UN GATE, June 17 – As the United Nations and its Secretary General Antonio Guterres fail on Ukraine, Sudan, Yemen and Haiti, its servile partners in the UN Correspondents Association also have money on their minds.
On May 22, UNCA directed its members - including state media from Iran, Russia, China, Qatar and others - to promote its December 2023 fundraiser, sure to include Guterres stuffed into a tuxedo.
But this UNCA colluded with Guterres to have independent Inner City Press, which asked about Guterres' undisclosed finances, roughed up and banned from the UN.
Yet on June 2023, the Irish Mission - willfully ignoring all of this - gushed "The press pool at the UN have an important job to do, telling stories that matter about global issues seen through the lens of multilateralism. Delighted to join them & @UNCANews Chair @vrobecco of @ansa_english at the launch of their annual handbook yesterday evening." Shameful, blind - or both.
UN's Valeria Robecco and each executive committee member refused to answer a polite pro bono letter from the Quinn Emanual law firm, here.
Guterres' Melissa Fleming and Gilles Michaud refused to respond to an appeal, here.
