UN GATE, Oct 12 –
How corrupt had the UN and its
press corp become? On October
12 one of the few questions to
Agnes Kalibata, Antonio
Guterres' "Special Envoy for
the Food Systems Summit," was
a representative of the German
chemical firm BASF, asking how
to raise or make money
together. Video here.
While
Inner City Press which reports
daily on the UN missions in
DRC, Somalia, Libya, Mali, Tel
Aviv and elsewhere is banned
from asking questions, even by
WebEx (it asked of Mali to the
G5 Sahel on October 12, here),
Gloria Starr Kins of the UN
Correspondents Association was
allowed in to advertise for
BASF.
But the
firm has been charged:
""German firms sent
weapons-grade chemicals to
Syria despite sanctions —
report", 25 Jun
2019 Despite
European Union sanctions,
German companies were involved
in exporting weapons-grade
chemicals to Syria in the
midst of the war, according to
a report published on
Tuesday... According to
the report, German chemical
wholesaler Brenntag AG sold
the chemicals isopropanol and
diethylamine to Syria in 2014
using a subsidiary in
Switzerland. The recipient was
a Syrian pharmaceutical
company that had ties to the
regime of President Bashar
Assad. Reporters
revealed that the diethylamine
was produced by German
chemicals giant BASF at a
plant in the Belgian city of
Antwerp."
The UN is
corrupt. We'll have more on
this.
