UN GATE, Dec 11 –
Faced with the Coronavirus
crisis that UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres at
first tried to cover up, as he
did the UN bribes of convicted
CEFC China
Energy, the UN Security
Council has gone virtual.
The
Security Council is
increasingly a platform for
China. Other members, which
purport to care about press
freedom and transparency but
did nothing when UNSG Guterres
had Inner City Press roughed
up and banned, now 892 days,
are reduced to canned
statements, which banned Inner
City Press streamed here,
concluding: "One day after we
celebrated International Human
Rights Day, we also express
our gratitude for the work of
the UN Special Rapporteur on
the situation of human rights
in the DPRK and the Office of
the UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights, and ongoing
reporting by non-governmental
organizations, to bring to
light the DPRK’s malign
actions. To conclude, we urge
the DPRK to end its human
rights violations, engage
credibly with the
international community on its
human rights record and to
allow the UN human rights
mechanisms free and unhindered
access to the country."
Commissioner Bachelet has done
nothing about Guterres'
censorship (she may not be a
doctor - the UN hasn't
answered); the Special
Rapporteurs, even when one
like David Kaye asks, do not
follow up or accomplish
anything. Today's UN is a
hothouse of hypocrisy.
Just as CEFC
China Energy used Guterres' UN
to pay bribes to President of
the General Assembly Sam
Kutesa for oil and bank deals
in Uganda, and brought a box
of cash and offered weapons to
Chad's Idriss Deby for an oil
concession, China's deals in
the DRC have now been taken
private with the complicity of
other UNSC members.
This is
Guterres UN - a place of
corruption and censorship of
Press, from which Dujarric,
Guterres and Melissa Fleming
have banned
Inner City Press now 628 days.
Even as we
cover the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York in which CEFC's
Patrick Ho was convicted, we
will not rest. Watch this site
- but not, apparently, UNTV
except for Dujarric's social
club of censorship "noon
briefings."
