He's a right dodgy cunt. We didn't even elect the corrupt fuck. Actually fuming. He's completely in the pockets of oil companies. His wife's company made a $1.5bn deal with BP six weeks prior to confirming the new oil and gas licenses.

This week, Mr. Guterres, a seasoned politician from Portugal now in his second and last term as the head of the United Nations, is trying a new diplomatic wink-and-nod tactic.

This is correct, but the link leads to the wrong article. The one you are talking about is here, I suppose.
When one thinks about it, it's a quite genius move. He can't name and shame, because that would be a breach of diplomatic protokoll, but as the host he can decide whom to give a voice. And by making the demands he is made he exposed those Nations that don't realy give a fuck.
