SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 28 –
How
corrupt and
bought by
China is
today's UN?
Well,
amid
escalating
protests and
repression of
anti-Xi
protests of
COVID-lockdowns,
from Xinjiang
to Shanghai
and Beijing,
the UN of SG
Antonio
Guterres and
his weak human
rights
commissioner
Volker Turk
have said
nothing.
Amid
canned
statements
about other
topics,
including
claims of UN
concern at
rapes while
Guterres
covered up for
UN rapist
Karim Elkorany
and unindicted
rapist UN
Peacekeepers,
nothing on the
protests in
China, the
dead in
Urumqi,
journalists
including from
BCC beaten
up.
This
as Guterres
prepares to be
sold on
December 9 by
the UN
Correspondents
Association,
which has
among its
membership
Iran state
media which
broadcasts
forced
confessions.
It also
has Xinhua as
an officer,
set to be re
"elected"? A
discussed UNCA
member leaked
to Inner City
Press:
"Dear
colleagues,
UNCA will be
holding
Elections for
its officers
and board for
2023, and the
UNCA Executive
Committee has
decided on the
following
arrangements
and schedule.
1. Nominations
for President,
Vice
Presidents,
Secretary,
Treasurer and
the nine
Committee at
Large members
will begin
today, Monday
November 28th
and will run
until Monday,
December 5th,
2022. All UNCA
Members in
good standing
with their
dues can
present their
nomination
ballot
(available in
the UNCA
office) from
11:00 am -
4:00 pm. The
ballot must be
sponsored by
two current
UNCA members
from two
separate media
organizations.
Balloting will
close by 4 pm
on December
5th. The final
list of
candidates for
the 2023 UNCA
Executive
Committee will
be sent out to
all members
via email and
posted on the
bulletin
board. Valeria
Robecco
President,
United Nations
Correspondents
Association."
Watch this
site.
Islamic
Republic of
Iran
Broadcasting
is known for
filming forced
confession,
many of them
with torture.
They
also have a
correspondent
accredited by
and allowed
into the
United
Nations,
Kamran
Najafzadeh, a
full
dues-paying
member as
"Iran TV" of
the UN
Correspondents
Association,
which has
given China a
permanent
board seat
while working
with the UN to
ban
independent
Inner City
Press which
reports on it.

But
the hypocrisy
now spreads
from the UN of
Antonio
Guterres and
his UNCA to
the US State
Department and
US Mission to
the UN.
The
State
Department on
November 16
issued a press
release
about
"designating,"
presumably for
sanctions,
representatives
of IRIB - but
the State
Department and
its US Mission
under Linda
Thomas-Greenfield
have done
nothing about
the IRIB
representative
in the UN and
UNCA - which
Thomas-Greenfield
calls on first
- nor on the
UN's
continuing ban
of Inner City
Press, despite
this
letter.
UNCA will be
selling access
to UNSG
Antonio
Guterres on
December 9,
charging
diplomats and
bribers
hundreds of
dollars for a
garish event
at Cipriani
downtown with
Kate Hudson
and prizes to
cronies, here.
And more:
"Dear
