UN Tourism Secretary Common Zurab Pololikashvili has by no means been shy about manipulating nations, and those who characterize nations, in order that he can keep in energy. Two weeks earlier than the crucial election on the UN-Tourism Government council, Zurab’s personal nation appears to be turning towards him, understanding effectively what the UN system is all about – sharing duties throughout nations and areas. That is larger than tourism.
Zurab Pololikashvili has proven the way in which to get to energy within the UN system is his genius capability to maneuver weak nations enjoying on human greed, so individuals stand loyal to him.
The 2 earlier election in 2017 and 2021 that put Zurab into his submit had been clearly primarily based on manipulation as reported continuously through the years by this publication. He has been a grasp in making guarantees, offering rewards or paybacks to assist him, so he can run this UN affiliated company like his personal kingdom. He continued regardless of legal allegations, arrests round him, and altering the foundations.
Based on Walter Mzembi, Zurab’s prime contender in 2017 mentioned, Zurab refused to honor his promise in 2017 to overhall the UNWTO voting system, so future elections may be honest dwelling up what the UN system needs to be all about. In return Mzembi agreed to Zurab to be confirmed. This didn’t occur and was the rationale Zurab was in a position to manipulate once more 4 years later.
Permitting him to do that once more one other 4 years later would get rid of any credibility left in honest UN elections.
The Republic of Georgia is aware of this. Theyt had been standing behind Mr. Polikashvili for 8 years they performed the European Union Intergration card to get votes. This may increasingly now change.
The supply for Georgia stopping its assist for its personal candidate isn’t any apart from the Madrid primarily based publication “The Diplomat.” The Diplomat appears to have been the voice for Zurab Polilakashvili even earlier than he began his project at UNWTO.
eTN was unable to unbiased affirm this deliberate step with Georgian officers, nevertheless the tourism minister for the United Arab Emirates had repeatetly indicated this to fellow ministers at a current occasion in Prague.
Based on The Diplomat, the Georgian authorities is making ready to withdraw its assist for Zurab Pololikashvili’s candidacy for a 3rd time period as United Nations Secretary-Common for Tourism is outstanding. Extra outstanding is that this was dictated by Zurab himself.
There could also be points in Georgia, there could also be manipulations by Russia in Georgia as effectively, but when the present Georgia authorities places a cease for its assist for a 3rd time period for this UN-Tourism secretary Common it is going to be seen as a outstanding step and dedication by Georgia to honor the foundations all United Nations members should comply with.
Actually nearly all countried within the European Union, had brazenly spoken out towards a 3rd time period by Zurab. For the SG saying in The Diplomat this was as a result of his personal nation is now supporting Russia’s curiosity is a solution to scare some member nations to assist him, even when his personal nation will not be.
In 2017 Seychelles withdrew its assist for Alain St. Ange simply hours earlier than the election. Alain candidacy was stopped in response to UN guidelines, and in response to the identical authorized advisor on the UNWTO who continues to be in cost now. This could turn out to be an analogous case.
A European delegate advised eTurboNews, this has nothing to do with a potential drift to Russia in Georgia, however every thing with accepting the UN-rules, which might be made for each member nation to respect.
Pololikashvili attacking the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through the Arabian Journey Market in Dubai, when he refused to attend the ministerial roundtable until the candidate for the UAE Shaikha Al Nowais withdraws, reveals the dearth of respect Zurab has for the ATM host nation, and the concern he has to enter a good competitors.
Zurab solely speaks to ministers if he can flip it right into a marketing campaign occasion. Most necessary it confirms his lack of respect for democracy, and for this multi cultural and multi nationwide group.
At a current UN-Tourism occasion in Prague this week, the minister of the United Arab Emirates was telling fellow ministers in attendance, Georgia would now not assist the Secretary Common for his third time period in favor of the UAE candidate Shaikha Nasser Al Nowais.
This report within the Diplomate, clearly put into the general public eyes by Zurab Pololikashvili was meant to have the impact to place strain on Georgia to not undertake what needs to be logical, to cease this third time period. Zurab’s strain is enjoying the Russia card. Underneath Zurab’s time period Russia was blocked from UNWTO.
Zurab not solely works for the Republic of Georgia irrespective of the place Georgia stands. Zurab was the ambassador of this nation to Spain earlier than he switched to tourism .
Ukraine perceive as a lot as Russia, Ukraine, UAE most EU and civilized nations – demanding to carry on for a 3rd time period to steer UNWTO is stepping over a pink line.
At the moment there are six candidates, however solely three are thought of severe contenders. They’re from Greece (Harry Theoharis), Mexico (Gloria Guevara) and hopefully not Zurab Pololikashvili. The candidates from the UAE, Ghana, and Tunisia stay primarily unknown on this marketing campaign.
Zurabs rhetoric response dictated to the Diplomate publicatipn is supposed to confuse UN-Tourism member nations to misconceive the realities.
The article in The Diplomat is meant to place Zurab within the place of a sufferer.
A delegate who attended the current occasion in Prague sees rumors of a collusion right here and advised eTurboNews:
“So one thing stinks there.”
