Investigations and Accountability

The IAJ receives and considers human rights complaints. Simply stated, if complaints indicate substantive grounds for investigation of a human rights violation, an investigation may be conducted. The information about the case is stored in the IAJ's national database. If the investigation confirms a human rights violation has occured, it may result in a model finding from the IAJ, which becomes available for public educational purposes, documenting the case and the violation.

September 21, 2025: We apologize for the delay in responding to your numerous cases, electronic communications and phone calls. We are taking steps to address the volume and complexity of cases being reported to us. We had not anticipated the numbers of persons reporting violations of human rights. We had also no expectation that cases span period of years, some more than a decade, with numerous public records evidencing activity that must each be considered. We value every human life, and the dignity and rights of every person, and we will diligently make efforts to consider each of your cases. We ask for your gracious patience and good thoughts.

Each complainant can control the publication of their complaint-specific documents, by means of the features provided within their secure "My Account" page. Access (through the Evidence page) can be limited to specific individuals and for specified timeframes. We encourage every complainant to provide the IAJ permission to publish the IAJ findings of their complaints without access restrictions for maximum educational benefit to the public.

Interaction with the Private Attorney General

The role of the Private Attorney General

Simplistically stated, individuals who qualify as a Private Attorney General may act based on the US Constitution and common law and historical recognitions by the judicial process in the United States to prevent, prohibit, and abate violations of laws and human rights which have been inflicted upon themselves, and being similarly inflicted upon others. These individuals must follow high ethical guidelines for service and integrity, uphold the US Constitution and the jus cogens of customary international law, and act in the public interest. They must not frivolously or carelessly take action and compromise the benefits that should be provided to the public. They command protection for their litigation work product against disclosure (like attorney-client privilege) and advocate for unenumerated rights and privileges, as well as rights and privileges not enforced by the branches of government. One Private Attorney General (PAG), Cyrus Hazari, identified as a victim of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment, and torture, by 10 state and federal courts and over 40 judges, and a seven-year victim of judicial discrimination based on disability, takes a strong interest in the cases filed with this institute, and may take action permissible at law upon the presence of verified susbtantial grounds for the victim-reported prohibited acts. The PAG operates independently of the institute and provides information, research, and legal findings that the institute considers.

Proposed cooperation with the US Supreme Court

Judges should not need to be trained or corrected on recognizing and respecting human rights, but should instead be the foremost proponents of human rights in every case and controvery. The personal obedience to (human rights) treaties is a personal obligation of every state judge under Article VI of the US Constitution ("... and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding"). Under the principle of uniformity of jurisprudence in the state and federal courts, and under Article III "good Behaviour", and Article II, and the principle that the federal government shall not be divided against itself, the same duty of obedience to (human rights) treaties applies to the federal judiciary. However, human rights treaties are neither recognized or respected according to the jus cogens of customary international law, and the common expectations of the People, nor are they seen as the keys that they are to extraction of un-enumerated rights which are enshrined in the US Constitution. The Private Atttorney General has proposed a cooperation with the US Supreme Court to establish an independent investigative body for human rights violations by all branches of government per the specification of the UN Istanbul Protocol. This has necessitated the establishment of the IAJ to fill the gap until all government branches commit to the recognition of the independent investigative mechanism. The need for the independent investigative body for human rights violations is demonstrated by the numerous filings by the Private Attorney General in the US Supreme Court since 2020 and his other writings filed in the records of the following courts since 2018: California Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California Sixth District Court of Appeals, California Supreme Court, District Court of Norther California, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy court of Northern California, Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, District Court of Denver, Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. The cooperation would directly affect litigants whose evidence provides susbtantial ground for violations of prohibitions under human rights treaties and the pre-emptory norms of customary international law.
