As UN Rights Commish Volker Turk Fakes World Bike Day So Toilet Day Awaited by Staff

As UN Rights Commish Volker Turk Fakes World Bike Day So Toilet Day Awaited by Staff by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack UN GATE, June 3 – 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, Many thanks for exposing corruption in UN under Antonio Guterres and his cronies like Volker Turk No one symbolizes hypocrisy better than Volker Turk. He celebrates World Bicycle Day exposing a young female staff. Volker Turk has not cycled to work one single day in four years as he leaves 250 meters away from his office in Palais Wilson. He lies, same as he lies about feminism or young people. Volker Turk has dismissed most young people in the office, mainly female (some with medical condition and in need of insurance, and even pregnant ones).  When he was informed he just saw “I didn’t know”. As if he wasn’t ultimately responsible. He has fired whistleblowers and turns a blind eye to human rights violations by certain countries (mainly but not only China) as he seeks a quiet extension by his master Guterres. Volker Turk has decimated OHCHR from young and critical staff and preserved the privileges of his cronies and favorites. Not one ASG,D2, D1 or P5 and few P4 affected by the budget cuts in the last two years. Instead he has favored his friends and favorites some whom should have already retired. He wastes tax-payers money traveling with three persons entourage including a media person and a cameraman and a favorite (at the expense of those who do the work preparing his useless missions). This is where the un-earmarked funds go. Turk has opened a pointless office in Vienna, in his home country when the OHCHR is in a deep crisis and placed a protege to lead it, but member states tolerate a flagrant conflict of interest. Volker Turk’s hypocrisy reaches his investment in the pharmaceutical sector.  Since irrelevant and hypocrite Volker Turk has nothing better to show for impact, we look forward to his message on 19 November for World Toilet Day Amb Waltz, the ball is on your court." Fat chance.  So far, nothing from Mike Waltz. Meanwhile both Big Tony and Amina junketed on April 15 to the IMF which Inner City Press is accredited to cover, and at which it asked questions - but not of Tony, as UNCTAD denied Inner City Press to its "side event." The UN is dying, or being killed off. There's a new NextSG candidate, Maria Fernanda Espinosa. Two days ago she and her sponsor Antigua and Barbuda were sent a questionnaire about about this. So far, nothing. 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. *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page. Click here to become a patron.
