UN Guterres Partners With Coup Leader in Thailand Covering Up UN Sex Abuse by Indonesia

By Matthew Russell Lee, CJR Letter PFT Q&A, NY Post

UNITED NATIONS GATE, Nov 2 – Inner City Press has been banned from entering the UN by UNSG Antonio Guterres since 5 July 2018. While Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on camera he was answering banned Inner City Press' many questions, he is not. It is a lie, see below, with no answers on Cameroon, Honduras, UN rapes, Guterres' corruption.

 Now Dujarric has on November 2 issued three read out from Guterres' wasteful (Chapo-funded) trip to Bangkok, published here and annotated:

"The Secretary-General met with H.E. Gen. (retd.) Prayuth Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand.  The Secretary-General thanked Thailand for its chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations during 2019 and expressed appreciation for Thailand’s continued support to strengthening the partnership with the United Nations.  Bangkok, 2 November 2019."

  Prayuth is a military coup leader, whose crackdown on the media Inner City Press' written questions Guterres and Dujarric have refused to answer.

"The Secretary-General met with H.E. Mr. Joko Widodo, President of the Republic of Indonesia. The Secretary-General and the President discussed climate action...."

Guterres has refused to answer banned Inner City Press' questions about recent UN sex abuse cases, including by Indonesia peacekeepers, see below, much less on West Papua.

"The Secretary-General met with H.E. Mr. Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.  The Secretary-General said he looked forward to working closely with Viet Nam during its tenure as a non-permanent member of the Security Council (2020-2021)...."

   Guterres is trying to line up support in advance of Viet Nam being on the UNSC, just as he lined up the support of Cameroon before it chaired the UN Budget Committee, by being silent on and covering up Cameroon Paul Biya's killings.

Some recent UNanswered questions:

November 1-1: On Cameroon, what are the belated comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on the US decision to cut trade benefits to Biya's Cameroon citing extrajudicial killings and other number rights abuses?

November 1-2: On UN sexual exploitation and abuse - alleged - this is a request that you immediately provide the "if asked" information about the case of sexual abuse of a child alleged against a Cameroon UN "peacekeeper" in CAR cursorily data dump on October 31 at 1:30 pm as well as previously requested without response about the child rape and sexual exploitation by UN "peacekeepers" from Cameroon and South Africa the UN cursorily disclosed on the afternoon of October 28 - about which Inner City Press did not this time immediately ask, given that each of you have refused for one week and counting to answer in any way with if-asked information about the child rape and sexual exploitation cases involving Indonesia...

1-4: On Honduras, narco-corruption and SG Guterres' meeting last month with President Juan Orlando Hernandez and previous four person panel, on which you have refused all of Inner City Press' questions while on October 29 thanking JOH's government for $50,000 - what assurances do the UN have this is not from the $1 million JOH was shown to have taken from narco trafficking El Chapo?

September 4-8: Immediately explain the single lawless line from MALU on 30 August 2019: "Greetings Matthew Lee from Inner City Press, Your media accreditation request, with reference no: M5413398, has been declined for the following reason: Media accreditation was withdrawn on 17 August 2018." This is a formal request for the UN's explanation of grounds for this denial. And a demand for answer to these questions, which MALU has declined to answer:  Who made the decision?  Where is the list of those accredited by [MALU]?  What and to whom is the process of appeal? 

May 15-3: On the Public Financial Disclosures for 2017 belatedly published over the weekend of April 27-28, please state why Mohammed Ibn Chambas, like the Executive Secretary of the UN Biodiversity Convention, Cristiana Paşca-Palmer, UNICEF's Henriette Fore, with documented links to ExxonMobil and others, USG Mark Lowcock (undisclosed while the Secretariat's speaker at the UNSC Arria on Cameroon), UNCTAD's Mukhisa Kituyi, UN Women's Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, UNOG chief Michael Moller, UNDP chief Achim Steiner, Adama Dieng, UN Security chief Peter Drennan, Rosemary DiCarlo and Nicholas Haysum, not even on the list.
