AuBC: UN chief quits over sex scandal - Not Kofi | |||
2005-02-21 | |||
![]() Wouldn't that make him the guy in charge of al-Ein-Hellhole? Mr Lubbers, 65, quit as high commissioner for refugees after a confidential UN internal report exposed him as a serial sexual harasser and groper. Maybe that was him on the plane on the way home?
Who'd he think he was, President of the U. S.?
Who thinks Kofi has judgement? who backed the refugee chief and buried the report when it was handed to him last July. A spokesman for Mr Annan said the Secretary-General had accepted legal advice at the time that the allegations against Mr Lubbers could not substantiated. But the report, leaked to a British newspaper at the weekend, revealed that the allegations against Mr Lubbers went much further than Mr Annan had previously indicated. It cited five instances where Mr Lubbers had made unwelcome advances to female subordinates and said the conduct indicated "a pattern of sexual harassment". In one case, Mr Lubbers invited a female staffer to his home to discuss work matters but once she was there, he only wanted to discuss "personal matters". She fled when Mr Lubbers started "touching her in a sexual way".

#3 But . . . how could someone from the UN be forced to resign like that? It's so terrible! I thought they were the only world body with any "moral authority" any more! *Sound of world view crashing to pieces* |

#2 That stuff may work with Begian wimmin, but the day is past in the U.S.A. Tell that to Bill Clinton. |

#1 Wouldn’t that make him the guy in charge of al-Ein-Hellhole? Nope. UNWRA is autonomous. After all, "Paestinians" are not refugees, they just temporary displaced (until the Zionist Entity is destroyed) wards of the UN. |
