Indian ecologist urges United Nations to probe alleged Epstein links within UN ranks

By A Representative
 
A senior Indian ecologist and long-time United Nations environmental negotiator, Dr. S. Faizi of Thiruvananthapuram, has written to António Guterres, urging the United Nations to launch a high-level investigation into alleged links between certain current and former UN officials and the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein, following disclosures of email communications by the U.S. Department of Justice.
In his letter addressed to the Secretary-General, Faizi, who describes himself as the youngest negotiator in the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for the Convention on Biological Diversity and a participant in preparatory meetings of the UN Conference on Environment and Development in the early 1990s, said he was “perpetually standing for the UN ideals” and was shocked to read about the names of UN staff members and elected officials allegedly associated with Epstein.
Calling the matter “a betrayal of the UN values,” Faizi wrote, “Sex crimes against children, mass kidnapping of children, torture and murders for sexual delight, slavery, cannibalism — crimes that are basically crimes against humanity — cannot be brushed aside when the world’s most powerful men from various domains are implicated.” He urged the UN leadership to treat the issue with the “highest priority.”
Faizi further alleged that what he described as “this dark world of Epsteins” exerts influence over global events behind the scenes. Referring to publicly reported events such as the 2017 pandemic simulation known as Event 201, and discussions around geoengineering and climate interventions, he claimed that powerful actors have used such platforms to advance agendas detrimental to vulnerable populations. “They plan geoengineering projects, in the guise of climate change mitigation, to imperil the planet,” he wrote, while also alleging that elite groups discuss wars, pandemics and economic controls in closed-door meetings.
The letter names several former UN office-holders and individuals who have served in senior international roles, including Miroslav Lajčák, former President of the UN General Assembly; Børge Brende, former Chair of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development; Terje Rød-Larsen, former UN Under-Secretary-General; Mona Juul, former President of the UN Economic and Social Council; and Hardeep Singh Puri, who chaired the UN Security Council’s Counter-Terrorism Committee from 2011 to 2013. He also referred to individuals linked to UN-affiliated bodies and international NGOs, and called for scrutiny of how certain appointments and elections to UN posts were made.
Faizi stated, “In my long association with the UN I have come across many instances of nepotism and corruption in recruitment where credentials are often given low priority. It is therefore important to investigate the issue by a high-powered working group of the General Assembly that can authorise the Secretary-General to take suitable action.” He proposed creating mechanisms for greater transparency in the UN system, including an equivalent of right-to-information provisions similar to those existing in several member states.
He also raised concerns about what he described as the broader influence of powerful private actors on multilateral institutions, mentioning philanthropist Bill Gates and his association with global health initiatives, and questioned the role of prominent spiritual author Deepak Chopra being invited to events at UN headquarters. Faizi alleged that elite networks have discussed geoengineering, carbon trading, eugenics and other controversial themes in ways that warrant international scrutiny.
“Epstein is not an isolated case,” Faizi wrote. “There are apparently numerous such cabals that control what we suppose are statutory governments, including those touted as democracies. The world has only the UN to face these monstrous players operating from behind the curtain to create events of global significance.”
He urged the UN General Assembly to deliberate on what he termed a “collective threat to humanity” in a manner comparable to how the international community addresses terrorism. “They are the enemy of collective humanity, but being invisible they cannot be fought in conventional ways,” he wrote, concluding by assuring the Secretary-General of his “highest respect” and calling for urgent institutional action to safeguard the credibility of the United Nations.
