UN GATE, Oct 9 – After eight years of failure as UNSG, Antonio Guterres is trying to pick his successor, see below.
But first, how corrupt is the UN under Guterres? After delay, on October 9 he doled out the UN's humanitarian post once again to the UK, to Tom Fletcher. The last ERC refused to file even basic financial disclosure. Will this one?
On October 8, this: "Since assuming office in 2021, Grynspan has wasted no time in leveraging her position as a platform for her own political aspirations. The organization’s 60th anniversary event in June, which should have been an opportunity to renew its commitment to advancing the interests of the developing world, was instead used as a launchpad for her campaign for the UN’s top job. In 2022, UN chief Antonio Guterres assigned Grynspan to coordinate a task force working on the global response to the impacts of the war in Ukraine, and she quickly turned it into the vehicle for her UN campaign, pushing UNCTAD’s work to the back burner. Instead, she spends her time scratching the backs of developed countries in hopes that they will return the favour when the time comes for her bid for the UN Secretary-General position." Part 1 of x
Inner City Press filled out a poll on June 11 - the most important qualification for any future SG is refusal to censor as Guterres has. Watch this site.
