UN GATE, March 29
– The UN system is
failing on Ukraine and Gaza,
the Uighurs and Cameroon. And
while it's mostly the fault of
SG Antonio Guterres, his drab
appointee as human rights
designee Volker Turk is also
to blame. And not ready for
prime time, see below.
March 28, 2024:
"ETGE) unequivocally condemns
the recent visit by an Arab
delegation to Occupied East
Turkistan, occurring during
the sacred month of Ramadan.
This visit, orchestrated
amidst the Chinese
government’s relentless
campaign of genocide and
suppression of religious
freedoms, starkly highlights
the contrast between the Arab
delegation’s actions and the
grim reality faced by Muslims
in East Turkistan. The
ETGE views this visit as a
calculated propaganda effort,
aimed at legitimizing China’s
brutal campaign of
colonization, genocide, and
occupation against the Uyghur
people and other predominantly
Muslim peoples in East
Turkistan."
The UN fails on
both issues:
Not only has
Volker Turk colluded in
Guterres' banning of Inner
City Press without due
process, now he can't even
handle being on UNTV, instead
hiding out with the UN
Correspondents Association, on
whose Executive Committee
China state media has a
permanent seat, and Iran's
IRIB is a member.
Consider: "Dear
colleagues, UNCA will
host an in-person press
briefing by UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights
Volker Türk this Thursday,
October 12th, at 2:00 PM in
the UNCA Room (S-310).
The press briefing will be
followed by an off the record
conversation with UNCA
journalists. UN Human
Rights Chief Volker Türk is in
New York this week for his
Interactive Dialogue with the
3rd Committee of the General
Assembly and other events. At
the end of the week, he will
brief UNCA journalists for the
first time as High
Commissioner, discuss his
priorities, human rights
advances, concerns and
challenges as we mark the 75th
anniversary of the Universal
Declaration of Human
Rights. Thank you
for your attention.
Valeria Robecco President,
United Nations Correspondents
Association."
