UN GATE,
Sept 18 – How corrupt is
the UN system under Antonio
Guterres? Well, the day before
Guterres was set amid Gaza,
bombings and hostages to party
down with Sharon Stone and the
UN Correspondents Association
at Casa Cipriani, WIPO in
Geneva did the same.
The World
Intellectual Property
Organization under Director
General Daren Tang threw a
lavish party on December 14,
2023, Inner City Press
far-flung whistleblowing
sources say. As one UN staff
member put it:
"Over at WIPO the
Director General (Daren Tang)
is throwing a lavish party for
staff, complete with disco and
gambling - with a theme of
Casino Royale - see the
attached notice sent to all
WIPO staff - with a derogatory
image of a woman in a slit
skirt next to a man with a
gun...
What do UN
Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres and Executive
Director of UN Women Sima
Bahous have to say about this?
Is this an appropriate use of
UN resources?"
On December 18, a
complaint was filed with Tang,
citing Inner City Press'
exclusive report: "Dear
Director General Daren Tang,
We write to you as WIPO
whistleblowers.... See article
in the media
https://www.innercitypress.com/ungate1wipoicp121523.html"
On the morning of
December 21, the
whistleblowers have received
no response from Tang, Inner
City Press asked UN Spokesman
Stephane Dujarric in writing,
"on the
WIPO "Casino Royale"
party Inner City Press
exclusively reported on,
what are the comments
and actions if any of SG
Guterres, PGA Francis or
Ecuador on the
whistleblowers'
complaint." No
answers.
Guterres
has said nothing, refusing
through his spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming to even answer if it
is false that Stone is
receiving a "UN" award from
UNCA, apparently the UN
Censorship Alliance while
Inner City Press which reports
extensively on the UN remains
banned.
Since
then, WIPO has gotten even
worse. Now WIPO Whistleblowers
have written to the chair of
WIPO's General Assembly,
Ambassador Alfredo Suescum of
Panama, and the Regional
Coordinators about Tang
improperly telling Brazil of
his investigation of a
whistleblower-supporter (name
redacted) - and engaging in
anti-Semitism about a longtime
whistleblower. Also, covering
up Omar Katbi's forged degree
certificate.
Now the
whistleblowers have written to
the General Assembly
(Ambassador Alfredo Suescum of
Panama) and to the Regional
Coordinators (of the regional
groups) that WIPO's Director
IOD Julie Nyang'aya has
improperly covered up for
Tang. But what will be done?
