| 04 May 1999 | Message to UN Human Rights Fax Hot Line "Extremely Urgent! Act immediately on Complaints!" | Letter of doubtful authenticity dated 31 May 1999 on the stationery of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. It bears the signature of Carmen R. Rueda (for Francisco Aguilar Urbina, Chief of the Support Services Branch). Is this the same Carmen Rueda whom I saw in 1998 at the Perth Amboy, New Jersey district office of Congressman Robert Menendez, where she presented herself as a congressional aide? The envelope shows, under its return address, the handwritten designation "PW 1-011." In the opposite corner is a rectangle (printed on the envelope) containing the following words: "PORT PAYÉ" "1211 GENÈVE 10". No other postmark is present. The letter claims that "no communication coming from you has been registered with the Committee." Why not? What became of my correspondence? Who has my correspondence? Why was it not acknowledged? |
| 04 Feb. 2000 | Letter to Working Group of the UN Human Rights Committee at the New York Office. Extremely Urgent! Please place my complaints against Denmark and the Netherlands on the agenda for the 68th Session. Please call a halt. | No acknowledgment or information. |

| 07 Mar. 2000 | Letter to the UN Human Rights Committee at the New York office, Certified Mail Return Receipt No. Z 159 856 129. Sent new signed original of the 4 Feb. 200 letter (printed with new ribbon and with typographical error eliminated). Sent the highly defamatory and inflammatory document dated 18 Dec. 1991 supplied to me by the US State Department pursuant to my Privacy Act request, which claims that Danish officials had described me as "hospitalized" and "apparently deranged." Also sent my letter to the State Dept. dated 1 Mar. 2000 requesting amendment of the document and my letter dated 2 Mar. 2000 to the royal Danish Embassy in Washington, DC. I asked the UNHRC: "Please process my complaints, about which I have received no information in all these years, without further delay. Please call a halt and effect my timely rescue from conditions of ongoing persecution." | As of 8 Apr. 2000, Certified Mail Return Receipt No. Z 159 856 129 has not returned to me. The receipt from my letter to the State Department, No. Z 159 856 129, appeared in my mailbox on 22 Mar. 2000 with no signature, no date, and no postmark (unless the shoe print of the person who stepped on it may be considered a postmark). The Human Rights Committee ended its 68th Session without taking action or acknowledging my correspondence. The State department has not acknowledged my request for amendment of the scurrilous document. The Royal Danish Embassy has not responded to my letter. I have been too ill to take my receipts to the post office and have them traced. As always, the obstruction and corruption are absolute and intractable. |

| 09 Nov. 2000 | Letter to the UN Committee Against Torture in Geneva. Supplied a copy of the letter dated 31 May 1999 that purported to be from the Committee, expressed doubt as to its authenticity.

My fate, my pain and suffering, my humiliation and frustration are of no greater or lesser significance than anyone else's, but the issues I address are hugely portentous."

| 9 Jul. 2001 | Forwarded newsgroup post "UN Has Another Chance to Set Things Right" to OHCHR Secretariat secrt.hchr@unog.ch. "Earlier today, I attempted to forward to you a message from my forum. Apparently, it never reached you. My copy never reached me. I am following up, therefore, by forwarding this newsgroup post. ... For those who file complaints before the UN Human Rights Committee and the Committee Against Torture, these bodies are the only hope, the last resort. In my case and in many others, this is a tragedy -- an ordeal of crushing frustration and disillusionment that, in itself, borders on torture. I die a little with every committee session that passes void of action on my complaints." | No acknowledgment or information. |
| 10 Jul. 2001 | E-mailed Message 2.28 on JH Graf's Human Rights Forum to OHCHR Secretariat secrt.hchr@unog.ch. "My human rights complaint against Denmark is three months shy of its tenth birthday.

I have believed in you all my life. Won't you please stop discriminating against me? Won't you please acknowledge, and expeditiously process, the complaints I submitted against Denmark and the Netherlands so many weary, painful, dangerous years ago? Won't you please take a stand against the mean-spirited sophistry that deprives so many of us genuine refugees of our last shred of hope? Must corrupt obstruction forever block the way to justice? Should not principle, in the end, prevail over politics? Please do what is right, and do it now, before I and others lose our lives." | No acknowledgment or information. |
| 19 Oct. 2002 | Sent fax to UN Human Rights Fax Hot Line (41-22-9170092) and UNHCHR Petitions Team (41 22 9179022): "European nations ride roughshod over the human rights of refugees.

| 29 Apr. 2003 | Forwarded my newsgroup post titled "CAT, End the Coverup. Process My Complaint" to the UNHCHR Petitions Team and the UNHCHR Secretariat: "This "stonewalling" constitutes an egregious coverup. In itself, it tends to bestow considerable credibility on me and my claims. Nations don't engage in such machinations unless they have something terrible to hide. ... Root out the corruption. End the coverup. Let justice at last be done." | Message to Petitions Team returned to me: "not listed in public Name & Address Book." No acknowledgment or information from Secretariat. |

In February or March, a new scan will take place. This could lead to a radical nephrectomy. Other health problems, however -- particularly the chronic infections for which my doctors will not provide curative treatment -- render such a procedure risky. I may not survive surgery." | Messages to Petitions Team and UNHCHR Secretariat returned to me: "not listed in public Name & Address Book." No acknowledgement from "inquiries." |
| Oct. 2005 | I submitted a text on the web page of the UN Public Inquiries Unit. Personnel, apparently in New York, were kind enough to forward it to the UNHCHR Secretariat in Geneva. | No acknowledgement or information from Geneva. |
