Dear Mr Phillips, I just would like to draw your attention to two conflicts of interest that the director of information, Mario Lubetkin, poses, to the general indifference of the FAO leadership: 1) Mr. Lubetkin has formally resigned form IPS as Director General, but he has not resigned from the Board of Directors of IPS..

ROME– United Nations anti-corruption investigators have opened an inquiry into allegedly blatant job rigging by the “Latin Mafia” at the Food and Agriculture Organisation, UN sources say.
The UN Joint Inspection Unit in New York launched the probe after the Inspector-General’s office learned of the case of Margot Tedesco, a French field officer who is one of two highly qualified women discarded for the FAO’s Latin American communications officer job in favour of Juan Toha, nephew of Caroline Toha, Chile’s Socialist leader.
