Baroncini and his wife may have met at UN...Depends.<br />Baroncini and his wife may have met at UNDP and got married - so case closed.<br />If they were already married and she was in the employ of UNDP under her maiden name, and Baroncini came in as a contract employee w/o divulging that he has a close relative working for UNDP, then he is at fault (this is a practice that is common - I know of three sisters who work for UN or its agencies or programmes but they never divulge their blood relationship -one works in HR for UNDP-go figure, one for UNEP and one for a UNEP programme). Oh "this name is very common in the birth country" is their excuse BUT they never mention that dead dad is a very well connected politico in a certain country.<br /><br />However, for the father /daughter scenario, was she hired because of her competency or skills or experience or was it because she is the daughter of a Senior Member of the UNDP (who should know about the rules) and the hiring manager is keeping an I.O.U. for later on when she, in turn, would require a favour (btw she bought a residence in the US, she may want to pull an Eveline Herfkens scenario to come back as a consultant later once that green card is approved- a good one for conspiracy theorists if you ask me)<br />Why did the fellow who has been replaced by Melkert hired both Riza's son and later on Ban's SIL? In the first situation, Riza got him a promotion and now he is expecting to be nominated the WFP head honcho in Rome by Ban with the blessing of the SIL.
