Human Rights Alert (NGO) Calls Upon US Organizations to Join in Lobbying the United Nations

July 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, July 4 – Human Rights Alert, a Los Angeles based NGO, called upon other Human Rights organizations in the United States to join the 2010 review of Human Rights in the United States by the United Nations Human Rights Council.  Human Rights Alert, which documents, archives, and disseminates evidence of widespread judicial corruption in Los Angeles County, and beyond, reiterate the basic principle spearheaded by Eleanor Roosevelt, then US Ambassador to the United Nations: Human Rights conditions of the people of any nation are not the private domain of the government of that nation. Instead, it is the direct concern of the universal human community.  
Human Rights Alert proposed a join agenda for Human rights organizations:
1)   Integrity in acceptance and review of citizen’s crime complaints, particularly those pertaining to public corruption,  and protection of whistle blowers.
2)   Protection of attorneys representing others seeking safeguard of their civil rights, and
3)   Public review of integrity of computers of the courts and prisons.
Human Rights Alert further proposed that US Human Rights organizations jointly define nations, organizations, and individuals to be lobbied ahead of the November 2010 review session of Human Rights in the United States.
Human Rights noted that none of the themes proposed for the lobbying efforts were now the center of the intended review.  Instead, based on other nations' submissions to the November 2010 review of Human Rights in the US, the United Nations Human Rights Council report would most likely focus on the criminal justice system in the United States:
1) The number of those imprisoned in the United States. The US holds 5% of world population, while holding 25% of world's prisoners,
2) Conditions in the prisons - California prisons led to the appointment of a Civil Rights Overseer even by the US Courts,
3) Use of the death penalty, and its excesses,
4) The treatment of minorities by the US criminal justice system.

Human Rights noted that the 2010 review of the United States by the United Nations Human Rights Council would be a historic first.
