UN GATE, Feb 23 –
Under Antonio Guterres as
UNSG, the wider UN has failed
for years on Ukraine, as on
Cameroon, Gaza, Sudan, Haiti.
Guterres also bans the Press
that asks of this.
On
February 22, 2025, a
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 tests - in
both the UNSC & GA.
Back on November
27, 2024 Inner City Press
wrote to the UN: "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 UNSC Presidency
press conference 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, and also in
2024 and 2025.
The UN did not
answer - they are abusing
their immunity, thumbing their
nose at the First Amendment
and related principles. We
will stay on this.
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 the UN
Mission, nothing.
