UN GATE,
April 18 –
With the United Nations facing
budget cuts and its Secretary
General Antonio Guterres
missing in action in his
mansion on Sutton Place, the
following from inside the UN
was leaked to Inner City
Press:
The current Chief
of the United Nations
Department of Safety and
Security (UNDSS), Mr. Gilles
Michaud of Canada, is
reportedly planning a mission
to the Gulf region and China,
desperately trying to secure
new funding.
As Inner City
Press first reported, UNDSS
faces a precarious financial
situation, placing nearly 300
staff members—including
directors and senior security
officials serving in Africa
and Asia—at imminent risk of
losing their positions.
The
prospect of receiving direct
financial support from
individual states—particularly
without multilateral
oversight—risks undermining
the UN's claimed
principles.
Then again,
Michaud's DSS already let
Guterres use it to rough up
and ban the Press. A fish rots
from the head.
From what Inner
City Press has previously
published:
Dear Council
Members, UNDSS will no longer
have a presence in
approximately 35 to 45
countries, severely impacting
field operations. In the
remaining 120 countries where
UNDSS will maintain a
presence, regional hubs will
be established. UN
agencies will need to
reconsider their operational
footprint in countries where
UNDSS will no longer be
present. The USG emphasized
that UNDSS is not a protection
agency but a risk management
and analysis entity.
Don't
forget its role in censorship.

Bill Blanchard,

Inner City
Press will have more on this.
