So you don't have any evidence it was published the next day? You just made that up out of whole cloth?

The internet archive lists the first time they archived the document as August 31 22:23 GMT, which was August 31 23:23 in Geneva. That matches the reporting from NYT and Guardian from the next morning. Both of those reports are also available on the internet archive.

Geneva was in UTC+2 (CEST) on August 31. So will you admit I am correct and you got sanctimonious for no reason?

  • Yep missed that. The internet archive did indeed fist scrape that document 23 minutes after midnight Geneva time.

    However it is unlikely that the internet archive web scraper would have picked up a relatively obscure document within 23 minutes of its release.

    The NYT and Gaurdian articles published that morning (verified by the internet archive) said that the article was published 11 minutes before midnight Geneva time. That lines up with the internet archive scraping it about 30 minutes later.

    So unless they were both wrong or in on it, it was released before midnight Geneva time.

    What evidence do you have to support that the UN was lying, and that the NYT and the Guardian were wrong about the time?

    • The Internet Archive recorded an error page for that URL just four minutes prior. So we know that the document was not available before September 1, after Bachelet's term had ended.
