At UN Only 50 Voters & No Competition Now 2 China State Media In UN Correspondents Assoc Board

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell book
BBC - Honduras - CIA Trial book - NY Mag

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 17 –  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 after Guterres was sold on December 9 by the UN Correspondents Association, which has among its membership Iran state media which broadcasts forced confessions.  Guterres refused a Press question about his silence in Qatar here.

On December 6, UNCA released its clean slate of "leaders" for 2023 - with no competition for any post.

  It turns out there were only 50 voters - lowest turnout ever, for a groups that claims the right to block media globally from entering the UN -- and now China has two state media seats - Xinhua and CCTV, replacing AFP - Russia, Turkey, and the top award to a crony. Some got as few of 26 of the 50 votes, even with no competition. Photo here. No response to Quinn Emanuel's letter - nor this appeal of ban. It's the UN Censorship Alliance.
