In announcing bribery and tax fraud charges last week against former United Nations General Assembly President John Ashe, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said that "John Ashe, the 68th president of the U.N. General Assembly, sold himself and the global institution he led." Moreover, the U.S. Attorney put the UN on notice that his investigation was not over. “We will be asking: Is bribery business-as-usual at the U.N.?” he said.
UN Secretary General spokesperson Stephane Dujarric took umbrage at the U.S. Attorney’s “business-as-usual” remark, telling reporters that “corruption is not business as usual at the U.N.” He also said that Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was "shocked and deeply troubled" by the allegations against Mr. Ashe. “The Secretary-General reaffirms that there will be no tolerance for any corruption at the United Nations or in the name of the United Nations," Mr. Dujarric added.The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.
