Incompetence and Corruption in the U.N.? (Via Zoom)

Let's take a look behind the scenes at the U.N.

Attorney and former U.N. investigator Peter Gallo will provide us with a unique insider's view of his claim that the U.N. failed to properly investigate allegations that some Gaza staff members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or "UNRWA," played an active role in the terrorist attack in Israel on October 7. He will also discuss charges that UNRWA operations there were infiltrated and influenced by Hamas.

Before joining the U.N.'s Investigations Division of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS/ID), Attorney Peter Gallo worked in the private sector in Asia for nineteen years, 18 of which were spent as an investigator and consultant specializing in counterterrorism financing and anti-money laundering. During this time, he was recognized as one of the leading authorities on the methodologies of money laundering.

Mr. Gallo has also done some part-time university lecturing on investigation management, spoken at numerous conferences, and authored about two dozen articles published in various professional journals and news magazines. He is a lawyer admitted to practice in Scotland, Hong Kong, and New York.
