UN GATE, Sept 23 – As the UN General Assembly without France or the UK claimed to get underway on Saturday, September 16, 2023 in a temporary building wastefully built on its North Lawn, across First Avenue there was a Burmese rally.
Inner City Press, banned from the UN by pro-China UNSG Antonio Guterres, covered it. Video here.
On Saturday, September 23, Guterres issued canned readouts including that he "met with H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates [and] expressed appreciation for the United Arab Emirates’ upcoming hosting of COP28" - which will be presided over by the head of the UAE's national oil company ADNOC, Al Jaber. Even on this his wannabe signature / distraction from failure issue, Guterres is a selective sell-out and censor.
Guterres' UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric refused dozens of written questions from Inner City Press about the junta's plot to kill Kyaw Moe Tun, as prosecuted in the SDNY court Inner City Press covers daily since being thrown out of the UN by Guterres, and kept out by his Melissa Fleming.
Fleming, as reported, refused to response to a June 19 application by Inner City Press to enter and cover this UNGA, and then a pro bono law firm letter.
She will, however, apparently still give a speech this week it costs $800 or $2000 to attend.
Today's UN is totally corrupt.
