UN GATE, July 1 –
The United Nations claims to
have a zero tolerance for
sexual exploitation by its
staff and peacekeepers, but
routinely covers up their
abuses including the rape of
children, withholding basic
information which was provided
to the Press under Ban Ki-moon
but not now under Antonio
Guterres.
Inner City Press, which
Guterres has banned from the
UN for 724 days as it asks
about these and his abuses, on
June 23 received from outraged
UN whistleblowers video of
sexual exploitation, they
said, in a white UN-marked
vehicle, here.
Now Instagram,
Facebook.
On July 1
at noon, Guterres' UN
Spokesman Stephane Dujarric
said he would release the
results of the UN Office of
Internal Oversight Services
(OIOS) investigation in the
afternoon. By midnight it had
not happened.
Now Inner
City Press exclusively
published audio of OIOS' Ben
Swanson saying that one of
Guterres' Assistant
Secretaries General thrust his
hand down the pants of a
female staffer - and Guterres,
"a politician," said to cover
it up. Audio
here, transcribed here:
"I was summoned
to a meeting in the SGS
conference room in February
(2018) where the SG, DSG,
Legal Counsel and of all the
special advisors and all that
were there. The SG is a
politician and he wanted a
sound byte result and the
soundbite result was that
paragraph which I showed you
before. I tried to make
the point that there's three
overlapping things with this,
there's the culture, the
investigations and there's the
accountability
piece. Now,
I was trying to tell him what
actually apart from the
numbers that's coming in, the
investigations piece is
already, we're OK because we
know what we're doing and
we're able to do the
investigations. It's just with
the increase in demand and I
said the accountability is a
problem because of whatever
the tribunals are doing. And
it's your culture's the
problem. I said I said I
had a D1 female D1 in my
office last week. She in tears
telling me about how an ASG
put his hand inside her
trousers and when she tried to
discuss how to complain about
it, she was told it wouldn't
do her any good and he was a
favored son. And you're a
woman. So I tried to
tell the story and I got
(knock on table) I was cut
there."
Guterres'
OIOS investigations are a
politicized scam. A fish rots
from the head - Guterres
covers up for his Assistant
Secretary Generals grabbing
crotches, and for whoring by
UNTSO staff. Guterres should
resign.
On July 1
AFP reported
of the UNTSO video that "It
was originally published on
June 23 on the Twitter account
of Inner City Press, a blog in
open conflict with the UN,
which has been denied access
"for 721 days" , said its
author Matthew Lee. The
account claimed a few days
later that this scene was
filmed in Tel Aviv (Israel)."
[Would they say that the
Rappler is "in open conflict"
with Duterte?]
The UN
after Inner City Press' video
went viral claimed they were
quickly investigating; a
French journalist even
(falsely) reported that
sanctions had already been
announced.
But now,
days after Inner City Press
identified to the UN the
nationality and then the names
of the men in the vehicle,
nothing. It is another cover
up by Guterres, this time funded
not only by taxpayers but also
IKEA and Pierre Omidyar.
Early on
June 29 Inner City Press has
asked Guterres, Melissa
Fleming, Stephane Dujarric and
others: "Please confirm or
deny that Michael Antoine,
whose past promotions and
transfers out of UNTSO
including to the UN-OPCW
mission in Syria Inner City
Press has previously asked the
UN spokesmen about without
answer, is with UNTSO (and his
role in this).
Same question regarding Ray
Milan. On deadline. Please
immediately confirm receipt."
No answer. Guterres' UN is
corrupt, now using Omidyar and
IKEA funds.
On June 28
Inner City Press asked
Guterres, Melissa Fleming and
UNTSO: "confirm or deny that
Michael Antoine, whose past
promotions and transfers out
of UNTSO including to the
UN-OPCW mission in Syria Inner
City Press has previously
asked the UN spokesmen about
without answer, is with UNTSO
(and his role in
this). Same
question regarding Ray Milan."
No answer.
We now
report - Milan is, as Inner
City Press asked and reported,
from Puerto Rico. And in the
back, Michael Antoine has both
Trinidadian and US citizenship
- and quite a history. Inner
City Press previously asked
the UN about him (for example
here).
and his sponsor / Godfather
Fadil Abdullah, since promoted
out to UNICEF in Sudan. Inner
City Press asked the UN about
him, again, in 2019, here
- no answer. UN cover ups.
Whistleblowers exclusively
tell Inner City Press this is
being covered up: Antoine is
"protected." He is known
in all the bars of
Jerusalem. The military
observers know him as the
jackass. That is his
nickname. Military
observers were told not to
place complaints about his
antics, that nothing would be
done. They would see his
UN vehicle out late in the
bars in Jerusalem. He would
drive with Ray to Haifa
Russian bars. Ray Milan
and Antoine would also use
prostitutes
regularly. Senior
management refuse to address
the misdeeds of civilian
staff. Antoine is part
of culture of civilian UN
staff who are undisciplined
and there is no
accountability.
Antoine had many Palestinian
girlfriends and this would
also cause problems for UN.
Guterres is to blame for this.
Inner City
Press has been encouraged by
UN staff to publish this now
to try to ensure that Guterres
doesn't once again cover up
for a "whoremonger." They say
Guterres should resign.
Inner City
Press will continue to demand
re-accreditation.
On June
26, despite the story now
being reported from Austria
to Israel
to Switzerland,
those let in from Al Jazeera
and other publications asked
nothing. We'll have more on
this. Watch this site.
