By Victor Comras
The UN Secretary General's Press Spokesman, Fred Eckhard indicated yesterday afternoon that the UN had decided that "it is not appropriate to reimburse Benon Sevans legal bills for his appearances before the Volcker Commission (Independent Inquiry Committee)." They will review this decision if Sevan is later cleared of both internal breaches of UN rules and regulations and of any criminal wrongdoing. The decision was taken by Mark Mallock Brown in consultation with the UN Legal Department.
