UN GATE,
May 23 – How corrupt is
today's UN under Antonio
Guterres? Today's follow up,
the first but certainly not
last, is yet once again on his
mission in Colombia, about
which his spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming refuse all Press
questions. Inner City Press
has asked them, and others,
about the newest sex abuse
case against the UN there. Now
this, from UN whistleblowers
through Inner City Press:
Dear Matthew Russell Lee, please publish:
Federico Ledesma, now chief conduct
and discipline at UNVMC in Colombia
has always carried a dark cloud over
him. Ever since UNMIL he has been
great at covering for others and
covering his own perverse ways. He has
been accused for sexual assault and
his victims are now and for ever
unable to hold a job in the
organization. His abuses only
incremented with his girlfriend
handling the UNV program in UNIMIL.
How many assaults took place? How many
were silenced by him and how many by
his girlfriend. We have recently
received a recording of him berating a
national staff who dared to question
why he and Carlos Ruiz where so quick
to investigate a female who had
possibility of promotion and so quick
to cover not one ore two but several
male officers accused of sexual
assault, sexual harassment and
harassment in the work place. You can
hear him and his officer accept that
they decided to ignore the reports
made by victims, and are officially
hiding behind the fact that people
went to them but were not asked to
sign any documents."
And
what is the UN of Antonio
Guterres doing about all
this? Nothing - but banning the Press
that reports it.
We'll have
more on all this. Keep the info
coming.
