SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 5 – US State Department official Senior Official Jeremy P. Lewin held a press conference on February 5 about US humanitarian support for the Cuban people. Inner City Press RSVP-ed and had its question asked:
Can you speak to how this initiative shows the increase irrelevance of the United Nations, amid its failures on Sudan, Gaza, Venezuela and elsewhere?
The moderator read the question out - Inner City Press, still banned from even entering the UN where for years it had a resident correspondent's office for such calls, told them it was too loud in the courthouse it is reporting from - and Jeremy Lewin responded.
He said the UN does have to show its relevant, noting that when the US is strong, the UN fades in the shadow. But, Inner City Press would point out, even where the UN tries to make itself central, it is even worse.
The UN brought cholera to Haiti; UN staff participated in October 7, just as years before UNDP staff participated in the genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda. Lewin said Ambassador Mike Waltz is working on all this.
On February 2, Inner City Press wrote to Ambassador Waltz, via the US Mission's website form and the email for the Mission listed in the UN Blue Book, saying he should ensure Inner City Press' re-enter by at latest March 1, when he assumes presidency of the UN Security Council and holds a press conference of the type Inner City Press participated in, with question to Lewin - and can it not have access to the UN, about which it reports daily?
