Commish Volker Turk Talks
Waffles While Firing the
Young for Tony Cronies

Substack UN GATE,
March 28 – How corrupt
and decrepit has the UN system
become under Antonio Guterres,
in this case due to Guterres?
Today's example is again from
the Office of the High
Commission for Human Rights,
to which Guterres appointed
his unqualified crony Volker
Turk more than two years ago.
From OHCHR
staff - "Dear Matthew Russell
Lee, UN staff are so grateful
to you for exposing corruption
by Guterres and his cronies.
Narcicist apparatchik Volker
Turk posted in LinkedIn
'Always a pleasure to speak
with young people, and over a
Belgian waffle it’s even more
enjoyable) Thanks to Melissa
at the UN in Brussels for the
opportunity to talk about the
work of United Nations Human
Rights and why human rights
are important for all'. ... Shameless and
cruel by a “timid†High
Commissioner whose public
messages are equidistant and
ambivalent so he can keep his
job. Volker Turk, has fired
most young colleague (even
pregnant and sick ones in need
of insurance) so that he can
keep his favorites. He has
decimated the interns, UNVS,
P2s and P3s, the young
colleagues and has not
abolished a single ASG, D2, D1
or P5 post. Hypocrite Turk
has used the crisis, he
aggravated, to promote his
incompetent cronies. Kim
Taylor and Maarit Kohonen,
known for favoring their
spouses in selection
processes, have been
spearheading the dismissal of
young colleagues and
whistleblowers(under the able
leadership of flamboyant
VolkerTurk and soulless-soon
to go- Nada al Nashif). OHCHR needs a new
High Commissioner. Member
states must not let corrupt
Guterres extend his crony
narcissist apparatchik Volker
Turk." As with
Guterres at UNHQ - Inner City
Press and FUNCA have sent a
questionnaire on transparency
and accountability to the five
(so far) candidates for UNSG,
watch this site. Inner City Press
re-applied to re-enter the UN
on June 19, 2025 - no answer
at all from Melissa Fleming,
Tel Mekel, Stephane Dujarric
for six months, then a denial
with no reason at all given.
Today's UN is corrupt.
