Blathers of
Law While
Ignoring
Appeal of
Guards Ousting
Press
by

UN GATE, Aug 27
–
On World Press
Freedom Day,
the United
Nations of
Antonio
Guterres
claimed to be
in support of
journalists
being able to
do their work
without
hinderance.
But Guterres
has banned
Inner City
Press from
entering the
UN since 2018,
when it exposed
the omission
of links to
bribery firm
CEFC China
Energy from
his financial
disclosure.
There
has been no
answer to an appeal
to Guterres
head of
security
Gilles
Michaud.
On
August 27, in
a height of
hypocrisy,
Michaud put
out a canned
statement that
"I call on all
parties to
respect
international
law and their
commitments
under the UN
Charter." But
no answer to a
legal appeal
of UN
censorship.
On
June 19, 2024,
Inner City
Press
submitted an
application to
cover the UN
General
Assembly,
letter here.
Law
firm Quinn
Emanuel, on a
pro bono
basis, wrote
to Fleming and
the UN
Correspondents
Association
(with state
media of China
on its board
of directors)
seeking a
dialogue to
reinstate
Inner City
Press. Later,
so did the pro
bono law firm
of Duane
Morris.
Now,
the application.
