UN GATE, Feb 22 –
The lame duck US Mission to
the UN took over the UN
Security Council presidency on
December 1, 2024 - while Inner
City Press is still banned
from the UN, despite its June
19 application.
On
February 22, 2025, a new
statement: the US "has
proposed a simple, historic
resolution in the United
Nations that we urge all
member states to support in
order to chart a path to
peace. This resolution
is consistent with President
Trump’s view that the UN must
return to its founding
purpose." Litmus test(s).
Back on November
27, Inner City Press wrote to
USUN: "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 to the
USUN UNSC Presidency press
briefing by Ambassador
Linda Thomas-Greenfield on
December 2, 2024. I have
questions to ask on what you
will do this month about Gaza,
UNRWA - including lawsuit by
American victims against it in
SDNY - UN corruption in
Colombia, Libya, DRC and
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
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 USUN did not
answer - we will stay on this.

site.
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 Sierra
Leone and its UN Mission,
nothing.
