Los Angeles, October 2 - Human Rights Alert (NGO), a young organization, with no resources at all, got a mention and a reference in the staff report of the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations, [1] as part of the 2010 Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights in the United States.
The HRC report stated: "HRAlert referred to corruption in the courts and the legal profession, and discrimination of US law enforcement in California. [69]"([ 69]: HRAlert, pages 1-5. See submission for cases cited.)
The evidence provided by Human Rights Alert pertained to large-scale false imprisonment at the criminal courts, and real estate fraud in collusion with large financial institutions and law-firms at the civil courts.
The cryptic reference in the HRC report regarding "discrimination of US law enforcement in California", pertained to allegations in the Human Rights Alert report of discrimination by US law enforcement for at least two decades against Los Angeles County, California, through refusal to address overwhelming evidence of racketeering by judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Discrimination against a region of the country is a violation of Human Rights, in and of itself, pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The Human Rights Alert report to the United Nations provided evidence of such discrimination through conduct of KENNETH KAISER - FBI Assistant Director for Criminal Investigations, and KENNETH MELSON - former Director of US Department of Justice, Office of US Attorneys.
Human Rights Alert also provided evidence of patronizing of the conduct of the Los Angeles Superior Court by the United States courts - National Tribunals for Protection of Rights pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - from the US District Court, Central District of California, through the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Much larger organizations, and even Joint Reports of consortia of Human Rights organizations got no mention at all in the HRC report.
The HRC report was issued as part of the UPR process, established in 2006 by the General Assembly of the United Nations.
In April 2010, over 100 organizations filed stakeholders' reports as part of the first ever review of Human Rights in the United States.
In August 2010 the US State Department filed its response. Albeit, the State Department report simply ignored the reports of stakeholders and the HRC staff, and was largely self-congratulatory.
Review session regarding Human Rights in the United States is scheduled for November 5, 2010 in Geneva, Switzerland.
In its report, Human Rights Alert called upon the US Congress to enact Federal Rules for Public Access to Electronic Court Record, Case Management, and Electronic Court Fling (PACER & CM/ECF), as quinessential for restoration of integrity of banking regulation and the courts in the United States, for restoration of the Rule of Law, and for the safeguard of Human Rights in the digital era.

Human Rights Alert (NGO) is dedicated to discovering, archiving, and disseminating evidence of Human Rights violations by the justice systems of the State of California and the United States in Los Angeles, California, and beyond. Special emphasis is given to the unique role of computerized case management systems in the precipitous deterioration of integrity of the justice system.
