UN GATE, Dec 1 –
Ecuador took the UN Security
Council presidency on December
1, 2023 - while Inner City
Press is still banned from the
UN, despite its June 19 application.
New
president Daniel Noboa,
described as a banana heir,
appointed as his ambassador
José de la Gasca, described as
an expert in criminal law. It
could come in handy at the UN,
where PGA John Ashe was
indicted, and convicted
Ghislaine Maxwell held a press
conference and more. But under
de la Gasca, no answers to the
Press so far.
Announced
on December 1, Ecuador will
hold a session on
transnational crime (while
refusing questions on
Venezuela's El Pollo), chaired
by FM Maria Gabriela
Sommerfeld with two corrupt
briefers including Ghada Fathi
Waly.
On November 29,
Inner City Press wrote to the
Ecuadorian 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 Ecuador's UNSC
Presidency press briefing by
your Ambassador on December 1,
2023.
I have questions
to ask on what you will do
this month about Gaza and the
coups in Gabon and Niger and
the conflicts in Sudan,
Ukraine, Ethiopia, Cameroon,
Yemen and Libya, and the
revelations of El Pollo now in
SDNY - and on ongoing cases of
sexual abuse and exploitation
by UN peacekeepers on many of
which Inner City Press first
reported.
Two days later,
no answer from the Ecuador
mission. A press conference
barely 20 minutes long, half
speech, could easily has
allowed Inner City Press'
questions but didn't. Watch
this site.
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 Ecuador and
its UN Mission, nothing.
