UN GATE, May 1 –
Greece took over the UN
Security Council presidency on
May 1, 2025 - while Inner City
Press is still banned from the
UN, despite its June 19 application.
Inner City
Press wrote to Greece's
Mission to the UN: "This is a
timely request that you allow
Inner City Press to enter the
UN and cover Greece's UNSC
Presidency press briefing by
Greek Ambassador Evangelos
Sekeris on May 1, 2025 at 1
pm. I have questions to ask on
what you will do this month
about Gaza, UNRWA and
Cameroon, DRC, Sudan, Ukraine,
DRC and Rwanda, about the SDNY
indictment involving Turkey's
Mission to the UN as well as
the coups in Gabon and Niger
and the conflicts in Ukraine,
Ethiopia, Cameroon, Yemen and
Libya - and on ongoing
cases of sexual abuse and
exploitation by UN
peacekeepers, and Missions'
abuses in NYC, on many of
which Inner City Press first
reported - including its
current scoops on Colombia,
DRC, Libya and Somalia. And
most recently South Sudan and
UNECA.
Please note that
Inner City Press and I
participate in the WebEx
briefings of, for example, the
IMF: March
31, 2022 and since with
new IMF spokesperson Sept
28, 2023:
The Greek Mission
to the UN by May 1 at noon -
an hour before its press
conference - had not answered
Inner City Press' request, or
questions including on UNRWA
and a new case of UN sexual
abuse. We will stay on this.

Inner City
Press on June 19, 2024 again applied
to the UN for access, as it
gives 100s, to cover the UNGA
week. Inner City Press has a
NYC Press Pass and writes
about the UN. From France and
its UN Mission, nothing.
