Ipwatch is just great: "Suedi returned as a member of the Tanzanian delegation and ...remarked on there was “irony” that Group B countries in the past referred to the Joint Inspection Unit as a “useless outfit” but that now it had become “useful.” It may also be ironic that Suedi, a former special counsel to Idris who quietly stepped down in early 2005, was involved in a federal investigation in Switzerland (the Group B chair, ironically) for receiving nearly $300,000 that was thought might have been related to the selection of a company for a multi-million dollar construction project at WIPO (IPW, UN, 7 June 2005). Suedi was called to testify in the federal case involving UN contracts but was not found guilty of wrongdoing."
