UN GATE, Feb 14 –
How
corrupt is
today's UN
under Antonio
Guterres?
Well, its own
staff are so
afraid of
retaliation by
Guterres that
their only
outlet, they
say, is to
Inner City
Press which
itself has
been banned
from the
UN by
Guterres, with
no due process
and December
3, 2022 appeal
ignored.
But
we
continue.
Today's story:
"Dear
Matthew
Russsell Lee /
Inner City
Press:
We are from
the Police
Division of
the United
Nations. We
come to you as
our last
resort.
Since
March 2022,
the
Investigations
Division of
the Office of
Internal
Oversight
Services
(OIOS) has
opened an
investigation
against Mr.
Ata Yenigun,
Chief of the
Selection and
Recruitment
Section of the
UN Police
Division,
Office of Rule
of Law and
Security
Institutions
(OROLSI),
Department of
Peace
Operations
(DPO).
The
investigation
concerned
numerous
reported
incidents of
serious
discrimination,
abuses of
authority,
cases of
harassment and
for creating
an hostile
environment to
work.
Mr.
Yenigun
bullies us in
his own team
but not only.
He does the
same to the
entire staff
of the Police
Division. And,
he has done so
for many
years. He has
always been
protected. He
was
particularly
protected to
not say that
he was even
empowered by
the former
Police Adviser
Mr. Luis
Carrilho
during his
entire time as
Police Adviser
with the
support of ASG
Zouev.
Several
staff
suffer(ed)
from severe
depression,
other had/have
health issues
due to the
stress (one
had a heart
attack).
After
years of
abuses, 2
female
officers were
finally
courageous
enough to
report him to
the DPO Chief
of Staff and
to DPO
Executive
Office but
both offices
tried to hush
up the 2
complaints.
Therefore, the
two staff
members
reported him
directly to
OIOS which
finally
started an
investigation
in March 2021.
OIOS
interviewed
dozens of
witnesses
within the
Police
Division.
All
corroborated
the abuses of
authority, the
bullying, the
humiliations
and the
harassment. We
provided
several
examples,
shared more
cases and
provided
strong
evidences.
However,
almost one
year later
nothing has
been done and
Mr. Yenigun
continues to
terrorize the
staff of the
Police
Division. He
continues to
harass the
ones who do
not serve him
as he wish, to
bully the ones
who disagree
with him, to
humiliate the
ones who do
not follow his
illegal
instructions…
He
uses his
"power" to
jeopardize the
extension of
staff he
dislikes or to
recruit others
who will serve
him. He
manages by
fear and
humiliation.
For instance,
in addition to
these 2
courageous
women, he had
also abused,
insulted and
humiliated one
of our
colleagues
just because
he was gay.
Our colleague
had no other
choice than to
find another
job and to
left the
Police
Division. Mr.
Yenigun has a
strong bias
against women
and other
minorities.
Mr.
Yenigun is the
head of the
Police
Division
recruitment
section and as
such he
controls the
contract, the
extension of
the police
division
staff. He uses
his position
to humiliate
and bully
people.
Everyone in
OROLSI is well
aware of his
unacceptable /
unethical
behavior and
abuses, but
once more
Assistant
Secretary-General
Zouev does not
do anything...
it is not the
first time DPO
(USG Lacroix
is also fully
aware) and
OROLSI let
managers
bullying their
staff. In the
past the Chief
of UNMAS was
able to do the
same for years
also…
[Inner City
Press reported
on that,
before being roughed
up and thrown
out of the
UN by
Guterres' UN
Security,
which now
ignored the
written appeal
directed by UN
PGA
Spokesperson
Paulina
Kubiak).
All
of us are
scared as we
witnessed the
way Mr.
Yenigun
retaliated
against people
who stood up
against him.
The contract
of some of
them were just
not extended,
some other
were
professionally
discredited,
some had to
leave the
Police
Division...
It
is not the
first time
that Mr.
Yenigun is
under
investigation
by OIOS but
nothing ever
happened and
we are very
concerned that
once more
nothing will
happen and
that he will
remain in his
position...
The ones who
talked to OIOS
are even more
concerned that
he will take
his revenge
and will
retaliate
against
them/us.
Officially the
investigation
is still
ongoing...
We
are sure that
you will
understand why
we want to
remain
anonymous… we
are seriously
afraid of
retaliations.
Please help us
by publishing
our
story.
Done.
