Additionally, there is nothing in here about Mr. Klein's retirement from the UN or the sealed UN documents indicating that he may have been responsible for passing on UN secrets to the dictator of Liberia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shifuimam ( talk • contribs) 15:25, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Per a request received by OTRS from the WMF Trust & Safety team, the subject of the article wants a retraction to be noted. Here's the link to the retraction: [1]. I've noted the claims by the person to be accurate and thus, a retraction by a reliable source is noted as well. VRTS ticket # 2019042410009127 -- qedk ( t 桜 c) 12:36, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
A confidential UN audit from 2008 (later referred to as the Executive Summary of the Second Report) which had accused Klein of an "improper relationship" [1]: 3 with a woman named Linda Fawaz, was rescinded by a UN appeals tribunal in 2010. [2] [1]: 9, 11 According to that report, Fawaz — a 30-year-old Liberian American woman described as the relative of the head of a major timber company — had accompanied Klein to diplomatic functions and had traveled, on occasion, aboard UN flights to Liberia. [2] [1]: 3–4 Fawaz was suspected by UN auditers of passing documents to Charles Taylor. [1]: 3 Finding that the auditers had not given Klein the opportunity to respond to those allegations, [1]: 5 the report was deemed as inadequate by the tribunal tasked with reviewing it, who found that releasing it ran counter to the UN's mandate that it "only produce, maintain and disseminate investigation reports that have been created in accordance with the requirements of fairness and due process." [1]: 10 Klein had initially sought approximately $483,910 [1]: 6 in compensation from the tribunal, stating that the loss of income was due, in part, to the UN not reappointing him to another position after leaving his role as Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Coordinator for the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) in April 2005. The tribunal ruled that as a result of Klein's failure to seek administrative review of the decision not to renew his UN appointment, [1]: 8, 12 Klein was entitled to no more than one year’s net base salary [1]: 14 in addition to $60,000 — the extra amount owing to the UN's failure to "reasonably exercise the discretion to withhold or modify the Executive Summary of the Second Report and for the resultant non-pecuniary harm". [2] [1]: 15

Functionally all of the "additional reading" won't act as suitable sourcing for the large amounts of disputable content in the article, failing to be reliable, independent secondary coverage. I'm happy that the medals etc are supported, but most of it doesn't really belong. And that's without factoring in that it's not inline referencing.
Some of the UN stuff could potentially be sourced from the mission's article sources, though they aren't great for telling us about Klein himself in any neutral fashion.
Therefore I'm considering broad removals of this CV-style article until some more suitable sources become available - much of the content seems unlikely to exist without an independent biography. Nosebagbear ( talk) 15:01, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of his involvement in covering up sex trafficking by UN officials as described in the book The Whistleblower by Kathryn Volkovac? 174.29.176.232 ( talk) 04:13, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
This Wikipedia page reads like an entry into some kind of pageant for ex-world heroes. Not what I am use to reading when searching for information. Interesting how painfully detailed his accolades are, but Bosnian sex trafficking details seem scrubbed. 208.99.103.132 ( talk) 17:11, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
