Corrupt Finn Must be Held Responsible

The Useless Whore
“One rule pimps go by is that no whore, no matter how ugly, should ever be let loose unless she is so useless that business suffers.
“The business of settling the status of Kosovo has forever died at the UN and the person responsible for rendering the status talks so useless and dead has been Martti Ahtisaari,” wrote M. Bozinovich in the recent “Pimp Acumen for Martti,” at the time when the noise coming from the Finn’s office suggested ol’ Martti would like to stay in the game, even though no one wants him.
No one except, perhaps, his Kosovo Albanian customers who have invested a substantial portion of their heroin earnings in Martti’s services.
Finn Has Finished With Us
Soon after, the Finn finally realized he’s Finnished:
“Having witnessed the humiliating defeat of his proposal for an Albanian-dominated ‘Kosova’ as a ward of the EU, former president of Finland and ICG board member Martti Ahtisaari told the Finnish Radio he would no longer be involved with Empire’s land-grab from Serbia. He could contribute in an ‘advisory role,’ he told the media hopefully, but noted no one’s asked him to do so,” reported Nebojsa Malic, adding the corrupt UN employee now “just has to hope the Albanians won’t ask for their money back, the same way they’ve been ‘asking’ for land...”
...But We’re Not Done With Him. Yet.
But while Martti may like to think he’s Finnished with us and that the worst thing that could possibly happen to him now would be to face an official representative of his collective customer—Kosovo Albanians—in some dark alley late at night, I’m afraid that we’re not quite done with him. Not until he comes out of his rathole and faces the responsibility for his crime, i.e. taking bribes as a UN Special Envoy for Serbian Kosovo-Metohija province in order to rig negotiations and propose severing of the part of Serbian territory to the UN Security Council.
When Was the UN Ethics Office Engaged Over Ahtisaari Case?
On July 24 American Council for Kosovo Director James Jatras wrote a letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon [PDF format], requesting some badly needed clarifications and investigation. The letter reads:
Dear Mr. Secretary General:
I am writing to you with respect to a matter of great urgency in light of your stated commitment to anti-corruption and the numerous questions that have been raised concerning past standards of ethics and accountability at the UN.
Attached is a Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis dated July 10, 2007, entitled “Evidence That UN Special Envoy for Kosovo Martti Ahtisaari Received Albanian Mafia Bribes for Kosovo Independence.” Issued by the Global Information System (GIS) of the Washington-based International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA), the analysis states GIS’s confirmation, from its independent research and sources, of the existence of a report to you by the German intelligence service BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst) regarding payments made to Mr. Ahtisaari by Albanian organized crime figures.
You are to be commended for your insistence that “we must hold all UN employees to the highest standards of integrity and ethical behaviour” (address to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington, DC, January 16, 2007), and your pledge of a “zero tolerance” standard against corruption in the UN. On that basis, it is clear that these charges against Mr. Ahtisaari must not be dismissed without due inquiry. I respectfully request that you respond for the record to the following questions:
- Will you confirm or deny the existence of the BND report described in the GIS/D&FA Special Analysis?
- Will you disclose when this matter was referred to the recently established UN Ethics Office, which reports directly to you, and what has been that office’s action to date?
Thank you for your prompt attention to this critical matter.
James George Jatras
Director, American Council for Kosovo
