UN GATE,
June 4 – How corrupt and
decrepit has the UN system
become under Antonio Guterres,
in this case due to Guterres?
Inner City Press
is today reporting a memo
leaked to it, even while
Guterres bans it from entering
the UN, from Catherine Pollard
to the heads of all agencies,
that "I am writing to inform
you of the decision of the
Secretary-General on
additional measures to manage
the liquidity situation and to
provide flexibility for any
potential changes resulting
from the UN80 initiative, in
the overall interests of the
Organisation. In summary, they
are: • Renewals of temporary
appointments beyond their
current expiration should be
carefully reviewed. • Fixed
term appointments may only be
renewed for a maximum duration
of up to one year, and any
further renewals should be
carefully reviewed. 2. These
measures are effective
immediately and will remain in
effect until further notice"
Previously letter
by CoS Rattray on Inner City
Press' DocumentCloud here
Back on May 13,
2025 he sent sent a letter to
staff, leaked to Inner City
Press, in which Guterres
bemoans leaks: "I realize that
“leaks” and rumours may create
unnecessary anxiety. We are
currently in the proposals
development phase... It
is important to emphasize that
these internal consultations
and functional reviews are
preliminary steps aimed at
generating ideas and exploring
options. They do not represent
the final position of
management." We'll see.
Guterres had the
critical Press roughed
up and thrown out. There
has been no due process since,
not even a response to Guterres'
Melissa Fleming to a pro bono inquiry
for Inner City Press from the
law firm Quinn Emanuel. We'll
have more on this.
