In Corrupt UN WIPO of Tang Whistleblowers Complaint Denied Amid Decay under Guterres

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, Feb 4  – 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. (A year later on December 13, 2024, the same sale of Guterres was repeated).

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 told it, and it exclusively reported.

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 February 4, 2025, this: "WIPO Whistleblowers call on WIPO’s Chairs to ensure that misconduct complaints against DG Daren Tang—currently closed without external review—be reopened and investigated independently. Access to justice and WIPO’s accountability are at stake... The concerns over corruption at the top levels of WIPO are growing with four complaints against Director General Daren Tang having now been disposed of through a sham process in which WIPO's Director of the Internal Oversight Division Julie Nyang'aya conducts a preliminary evaluation into the complaints against her boss and then recommends closure.  Not even under former WIPO Director General Francis Gurry's term were things so bad" - like the transition from Ban Ki-moon to this nadir, Antonio Guterres.
