It's a Google Cache because Todd & Claire were subsequently delisted from the UN Global Compact program [1] and their report was removed.

I can't speak to their particular reputation or the veracity of the conduct in the police report, but they seem to be standing by their police report. You can view a copy of it on their official Facebook site account [2] as well as a followup on their website [3]. Unprofessional and goes off the rails IMO but they're sticking to their story.

As for my own post, I'm not making claims on my own and I have no particular reason to regard Todd & Claire's claims as factually untrue. Not proven either, but my posts certainly don't rise to the factual standard of libel ("knowing/reckless disregard of the truth"/"provable malice").

I'm not surprised they were kicked out. The UN Global Compact is a PR thing for businesses that lets them announce their commitment to the Global Compact principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. It does not make them a "United Nations member" or give them the ability to "formally asked the United Nations" to do anything, let alone "conduct an urgent legal review of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention’s decision on Julian Assange". Using it to pretend something they've written is a "UN report" is an astounding abuse of the program. Presumably they abused the system that lets them upload an annual statement of support and communication on progress to do so, then got banned when someone actually looked at their upload.


"I have no particular reason to regard Todd & Claire's claims as factually untrue. Not proven either" - Wow!
