Substack UN GATE,
April 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, Today Volker Turk
traveled to Mexico with full
entourage (a media officer, a
cameraman and his personal
friend and crony Matthias
Behnke)... Now: "Many thanks
for exposing corruption in
todays UN. Guterres crony,
narcissist Volker Turk,
continues bemoaning lack of
funds for OHCHR as he travels
business class with a court of
cronies and his propaganda
team of cameraman and press
officer. All a waste of
taxpayer’s money. This week
the US Congress approved the
appropriations bill that rules
out any funding for OHCHR.
Furthermore, US will ban any
other funding to organizations
that receive Chinese
funds. In 2025 OHCHR
received unexpectedly $800,000
from the Chinese goverment.
Predictably “timid†Volker
Turk has omitted China from
any major criticism and the
situation of the Uyghur
population is nowhere to be
seen for OHCHR. Whistleblowers
have lost their job for
exposing China’s influence in
OHCHR. @USAmbUN Mike Waltz,
audit OHCHR accounts." But will that
happen? Inner City Press
remains banned from entering
the UN to ask. As must
Guterres at UNHQ - Inner City
Press and FUNCA have sent a
questionnaire on transparency
and accountability to the now
four (so far) candidates for
UNSG, no answer from Rebeca
Grynspan, watch this site. And
nothing from Mike Waltz.
Meanwhile both Big Tony and
Amina are due on April 15 at
the IMF which Inner City Press
is accredited to cover, 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.
