Initial Responses Received from US State Department on Human Rights Alert 2010 Report

July 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, July 15 - Human Rights Alert (NGO) reported receipt of initial responses (copied below) from the US State Department as part of the first ever, 2010 review of Human Rights in the United States.  Responses by the US State Department were merely confirmations of receipt.  However, such notices stood in stark contrast with failure of the US State Department to acknowledge receipt of any communications in the past.  
In April 2010 Human Rights Alert filed its UPR (Universal Periodic Review) report with the United Nations, alleging widespread corruption of the justice system in Los Angeles County, California, large-scale false imprisonments, and numerous cases of collusion by the courts and large financial institutions in alleged fraud at the courts. Moreover, the Human Rights Alert 2010 UPR report documented refusal of  the most senior US Government officers to address such conditions, affecting the 10 million residents of Los Angeles County, California.  
The April 2010 Human Rights Alert UPR report was largely based on official, unofficial, and media reports.
Following the UPR protocol outlined by the United Nations, Human Rights Alert simultaneously filed its April 2010 UPR report with the US State Department.  
The United Nations offices involved in the 2010 UPR process consistently and expediently responded on Human Rights Alert's communications as part of the 2010 UPR process, and also routinely provided relevant information. In contrast, the US State Department failed until its July 14, 2010 notices to even acknowledge receipt of any UPR related communications by Human Rights Alert.
Furthermore, the UPR protocol outlined by the United Nations proposed communications by stakeholder, who filed 2010 UPR reports, with the US State Department prior to the State Department's response to the United Nations, due August 2010.  Such communications are intended to facilitate an effective UPR process.  
However, the US State Department to this date failed to enter any such communications with Human Rights Alert regarding the Human Rights Alert 2010 UPR report.
In its July 15, 2010 follow up letter, addressed to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (copied below), Human Rights Alert expressed its hope that the initial responses, recently received, would signal the initiation of discussion with the US State Department regarding Human Rights conditions in Los Angeles County, California, which were stated by a highly regarded expert, Erwin Chemerinsky - Founding Dean of the University of California Irvine Law School, as "conduct associated with the most repressive dictators and police states."
Human Rights Alert also routinely copies its UPR communications with the US State Department to the US Congress Judiciary Committees and to the Honorable Dianne Feinstein, Senator from California, who proved over the years a staunch advocate of equal protection under the law for all residents of the State of California.
