UN GATE, Feb 4 –
How corrupt and unaccountable
is today's United Nations?
Well, in
November 2020 Inner City Press
went to attend and report on a
UN Dispute Tribunal proceeding
about a case of sexual
harassment in the UN, a
proceeding which was announced
as open to the public, as US
court cases are.
But when
Inner City Press signed in and
gave its name, it was
excluded. Later, when it
obtained and published evidenc
presented in the case, a UN
Dispute Tribunal judge ordered
it to destroy the evidence or
be banned from all future
proceedings.
This while
UN Secretary General Antonio
Guterres falsely claims to
have zero tolerance for sexual
harassment and abuse, while
himself banning Inner City
Press from UN briefings now
for 948 days.
Now in the
case Inner City Press was
ordered to destroy evidence of
who-done-it, even the UNDT has
found Padula guilty - but has
insisted that he be
anonymized, that is, covered
up for. The shameful order is
here,
and recites for example that
the person - Padula - covered
up for
.“grabbed [AA’s]
face, held her closely, leaned
forward and attempted to kiss
her”; b. “when [AA] resisted
[the Applicant] kissing her,
[he] forced [AA’s] head down
and kissed her on the
forehead”; c. “grabbed
[BB’s] face, held her closely,
leaned forward and attempted
to kiss her”; d. “tried to
move physically close to [AA]
and [BB] while dancing,
despite their attempts to keep
[him] at a distance”; e.
“attempted to grab [CC’s]
face; when she blocked her
face with her hands, [the
Applicant] grabbed her hands
and tried to pull them apart;
when she resisted, [he] fell
on her forcefully”; and f.
“took and pulled [CC’s] hands
to try to get her to dance,
despite her resistance”.
But in
Guterres' UN they do not want
the public to know who did
this - and the Press which
exclusively published and name
and evidence is banned and its
written questions not
answered. On the morning of
February 4, 12 hours before
publishing this when no answer
was received from Guterres,
Dujarric, Fleming, Amina J.
Mohammed et al., Inner City
Press in writing asked this:
"what are SG Guterres comments
and more importantly action on
the UN Dispute Tribunal on Feb
3 confirming sexual charges
against Padula - while having
told Inner City Press to
destroy all evidence or remain
bannned, and maintaining
Padula's name sealed,
confirming the cover-up
culture under Guterres?"
The UN
claims it has to protect the
identity of Padula (and will
NOT report him to NYPD for any
criminal offense) because they
have to protect the identity
of the VICTIMS - it's like
Guterres' rationale for
covering up genocide and mass
killing, for example in
Cameroon.
Inner City
Press is even banned from
submitting questions by WebEx,
on which the International
Monetary Fund for example
answers its questions, as it
did on February 4 about the
Burma coupl. The only
difference is Guterres and his
corruption.
On December 21
Inner City
Press filed a
formal appeal
with the UN
Appeals
Tribunal, full
filing here
on
DocumentCloud.
And
now in late
January
Guterres' long
time
Portuguese
lawyer Miguel
de Serpa
Soares has
responded,
that Guterers
is not waiving
immunity,
impunity
response on
Document Cloud
here.
Impunity.
On the
morning of January 26 Inner
City Press emailed Guterres
and his spokespeople this
question: "
Given that the
UNDT order
destruction of
evidence
concerning
sexual
harassment
inside the UN,
why is SG
Guterres not
waiving
immunity?" Eight
hours later, no
answer. No second
term.
We will have
more, including listing more
of those complicit in the UN's
cover up of abuse. Watch this
