| Request Filed with AG Eric Holder for Equal Protection in Los Angeles CountyAttorney General Eric Holder was requested to demonstrate compliance of the US with international law and accords.
By: Human Rights Alert, NGO The letter noticed Attorney General Holder that the failure of US government to accord Equal Protection in Los Angeles County, California, was brought already in 2008 before his predecessor, Michael Mukasey, and inquiries were filed by US Congress on FBI and US Attorney General in that matter. The responses provided by Kenneth Kaiser – Assistant Director of FBI and Kenneth Melson – Director of US Attorneys Office – were alleged as fraud on US Congress. Accordingly, in November 2009 complaint was filed with US Department of Justice Inspector General Glenn Fine against the two senior US Department of Justice Officers, who signed the responses. After the Inspector General failed to respond on the complaint, Senator Dianne Feinstein issued an inquiry on the Inspector General, and his response to US Congress on the matter is now overdue. The letter to Attorney General Eric Holder called upon him to demonstrate respect by the US Government for its obligations pursuant to international law – to protect Human Rights, and pursuant to the Basel Accords – to implement functional banking regulation. The letter emphasized the failure of the first ever US president and US Attorney General, who self identify as black, to act regarding Human Rights disgrace of historic proportions – the ongoing opined false imprisonment of thousands of blacks and latinos in Los Angeles County – the Rampart –FIPs. Response by US State Department on the submissions to the United Nations as part of the first ever - 2010 review of Human Rights in the US – is due in August 2010, and the review session and report by the United Nations are due in November 2010. Numerous stakeholders, including nations that are considered friendly, filed submissions with the United Nations as part of the review, alleging serious violations of Human Rights in the United States, particularly – related to the conduct of the US justice system. It remains to be seen how Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would respond on such allegations to the international community.
