UN Rights Commish Volker Turk Stigmatizes Whistleblowers As Mike Waltz Signs UN Charter



UN Rights Commish Volker Turk Stigmatizes Whistleblowers As Mike Waltz Signs UN Charter

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, June 24 รข€“ 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

Volker Turk brags about female diplomacy as if he was a feminist. The truth is that Volker Turk during the last two years has dismissed hundreds of colleagues, mainly women, some pregnant and others with medical conditions.

He has tried to stigmatize female whistleblowers. All that to keep his cozy post and to favor his personal friends or women who are subservient to his ego. OHCHR staff does not believe his hypocrisy and double standards. We can see through his BS and hope he will leave soon and better times will come.

Amb Waltz, the ball is on your court."

Fat chance.

 So far, nothing from Mike Waltz, previously seen skydiving in France then on a lone Sunday show on CBS, unannounced - self-booked? Now he has blithely signed the UN Charter. 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.
