UN GATE, May 31 –
South Korea gets the UN
Security Council presidency on
June 1, 2024 - while Inner
City Press is still banned
from the UN, despite its June
19 application.
On May 30, Inner
City Press wrote to the South
Korean Mission: This is a
timely request that you allow
Inner City Press to enter and
cover, and/or provide the
WebEx pass code(s) to
access the Republic of Korea's
UNSC Presidency press briefing
by your Ambassador
Joonkook Hwang on June 3,
2024. I have questions to ask
on what you will do this month
about DPRK, Gaza and Sudan, as
well as the coups in Gabon and
Niger and the conflicts in
Ukraine, Ethiopia, Cameroon,
Yemen and Libya, on crypto
fraudster Do Kwon in
Montenegro - and on
ongoing cases of sexual abuse
and exploitation by UN
peacekeepers on many of which
Inner City Press first
reported - Inner City Press is
asking to be provided with
access to your ROK mission's
stakeouts and press
conferences this month as UNSC
President" including
virtually.
Then on May 31 UN
Spox Stephane Dujarric said
there will be "no Zoom." So
the South Korea Mission is
fully complicit in - and
benefits, it thinks, by - UNSG
Antonio Guterres' censorship,
just as they did with the less
total censorship by their Ban
Ki-moon. We'll have more on
this.

Inner City
Press on June 19 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 South Korea
and its UN Mission, nothing.
