Time is Running Out on Liberia

I will be leaving Liberia less than a month from now. I guess over-all more good than bad. Some of my friends know of the hell I went through with a superior - which will likely not be resolved.

What I have learned is that the reporting of misconduct of superiors in the UN system seems to be little more than smoke and mirrors. The Ethics division which is supposed to protect whistle blowers say they do not want any misconduct reported to them. Other units seem to just drop the ball whenever Superiors are reported.

I find it interesting that the United Nations has the weakest of all protections for people who work there.

The plight of the whistle-blowers in North Korea is well known that nothing was there to protect them from their superiors and their own firings.

This is how the UN supports whistle-blowers in Somalia.

The only way UN employees can get justice is to go to court:

To report cases of corruption, malfeasance, waste, harassment and/or retaliation
please contact United States Mission at the UN (USUN)at their whistleblower hotline: USUN-UNTAI@state.gov. USUN assists UN whistleblowers and will protect your identity. If you are aware of problems at the UN, including crime, corruption, fraud, or retaliation against whistleblowers, please contact USUN-UNTAI@state.gov. Your confidentiality will be ensured.

Anyways – be safe!
