PRLog -- Washington DC, May 17 – Human Rights Alert – Los Angeles, California based NGO - forwarded to Secretary of State Clinton a short presentation [1] of its April 2010 report to the United Nations [2] detailing alleged violations of Human Rights by the United States courts, centered in abuse of the courts computer systems – by publication of void, unauthenticated court orders and judgments as if they were valid and effectual court papers. The presentation included proposed language for inclusion by the final UN review report. The proposed language expressed concerns regarding failure of the US courts newly established computer systems to uphold generations-
old principles of due process and fair hearings – including, but not limited to – published rules of court, the right for notice and service, and the right to access court records – to inspect and to copy. Through such alleged abuse of fundamental due process rights that were safeguards of integrity of the courts, it was alleged that further abuses were perpetrated – the hallmark of which were false imprisonments and deprivation of the right for possession, through alleged collusion with financial institutions. The language proposed to the United Nations called upon the United States to demonstrate between 2010 and the next scheduled review – in 2014 – that the US courts computer systems indeed upheld the basic due process principles. A key examples of abuse, which was allegedly perpetrated through the publishing of void records of the US courts through abuse of the courts computer systems, came from Fine v Sheriff (2:08-cv-01914)
- the habeas corpus petition of Richard Fine, 70 yo, former US prosecutor held in solitary confinement in Los Angeles County, California, with no warrant and no conviction/judgment ever entered in his case. [3] The language proposed for the UN review report specifically suggested that the US and other member nations subject all courts computer systems to publicly accountable validation. Both the US State Department and the United Nations recommended communications by stakeholder in the review process with the State Department, in preparation of the State Department’s response to the United Nations, due in August 2010. However, so far the US State Department failed to respond in any way on the Human Rights Alert submission. The review session itself is scheduled for November 2010.
