Dear Colleagues:
As regulatory efforts failed to address the cause of
widespread damage caused by unregulated financial market activities,
crime victims of predatory lending (home
loans, student loans, credit cards)
are now
focused on criminal action against those responsible for the crimes,
with
refunds, compensatory damages proportional to losses experienced.
These are actions that must be prioritized by Municipal Attorneys
and State
Attorney Generals.
The size and scope of the damage experienced including efforts to
resolve issues, should be prioritized in communications by families,
nonprofit organizations, small businesses and corporations in crisis:
On the
United
Nations level, member countries must pursue compensatory damages
associated
with the shadow banking system, and OTC derivatives that were built the
criminal
predatory loans, mortgage and appraisal fraud, that devastated the
United
States and global economy. We are hoping for active involvement
and
support of the Human
Rights Institute, International Bar Association.
The victims of these crimes must be protected and made whole....
The immediate urgency relates to the need for infrastructure
stabilization, as a preparedness measure for challenges associated with
surveillance, containment and control of infectious disease challenges,
that include influenza during the next 12-24 month period. The
call has been made for seroprevalence
studies in every UN member country, to evaluate the level of exposure
and
natural immune defenses that provide protection against high
consequence
pathogens of concern.
The challenges on the table represent an economic state of emergency
and should be treated as such.
