Benson - False Photo Tweet: Badawi’s Woeful Apology

Under-secretary general Valerie Amos wrote to Ambassador Ron Prosor that the UN would launch an internal inquiry.

And now Badawi issues this cold correction?

I don’t see any expression of regret or apology here.

I don’t see Badawi taking ownership of her mistake.

What do I see?

A woman whose job is at risk and whose name is discredited.

A woman who thought this would blow over if she laid low.

A woman who knew for a whole week that she was wrong, but was too proud to do the right thing.

Too little.

And way too late.

We hope the growing grassroots momentum forces the UN to take accountability for the actions of its employees. Sign HonestReporting’s petition and join the thousands of people calling for Badawi’s dismissal.
