UN Now Confirms to ICP Having N Korean JPO, ICP Asks Of Kim Joo Song, Party-Linked

By Matthew Russell Lee, Exclusive

UNITED NATIONS, October 19 – The UN, which routinely lies about such matters of corruption of its officials by businessmen like now-convicted Ng Lap Seng, and its knowledge of the extensive killing and abuse in the Anglophone areas of Cameroon, won't even answer publicly when it employs a North Korea plant in its Department of Political Affairs. Repeatedly this year Inner City Press has asked the UN to confirm or deny and provide any updates on the acceptance by DPA of a North Korea “Junior Professional Officer.” Inner City Press even asked now-gone Under Secretary General Wu Hongbo. But even after DPA under lameduck chief Jeffrey Feltman accepted the North Korean JPO, on October 12 Antonio Guterres' spokesman for the day, when asked “can you confirm a North Korean was appointed to a low-level spot in DPA,” said flatly, No. But multiple sources tell Inner City Press that the North Korean JPO is in DPA's electoral unit - and now, exclusively, that his name is Kim Joo Sung and that he is the son of a Worker's Party official. After exclusively publishing this, Inner City Press asked UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric, who now confirmed there is a North Korean JPO in, he think, DPA elections unit. But Dujarric said he has no clue of the name and wouldn't comment on his "ancestors." Whether a North Korea JPO in UN's Political Affairs is the son of a Party official is relevant. DPA's spokesman Jose Luis Diaz previously refused to respond to Inner City Press' inquiry about Jeff Feltman staying on at DPA in order for his UN pension to vest. It's time to clean house, including in light of the UN's shameful failure on Cameroon. Jose Luis Diaz' former employer Amnesty International has reported on (some of) the abuses in Cameroon, when UN DPA where he works just helps cover up. There must be something in the UN water. We'll have more on this - watch this site.
