Jerusalem, July 2 - "Attorneys Yoram HaCohen and Amit Ashkenazi hijacked the digital seal of the State of Israel, and undermined the integrity of legal records of the State of Israel," says Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO).
Dr Zernik has filed today complaints with the Jerusalem and Tel Aviv Ethics Committees of the Israel Bar Association against Attorneys Yoram HaCohen and Amit Ashkenazi. [1] The complaint alleges that the two attorneys engaged in Breach of Loyalty and Fraud on the People of the State of Israel, relative to their conduct in implementing the Electronic Signature Act (2001).
The Electronic Signature Act (2001) stipulates that a Magistrate Judge shall be appointed by the Minister of Justice to oversee the integrity of the system.
The reports, which are the basis for the complaint, document that the two attorneys conducted business on behalf of the office of Registrar of Certifying Authorities with no lawful authority at all. [2,3,4] As part of such conduct, during years which were critical for the implementation of the Act, Attorneys HaCohen and Ashkenazi established standards, issued contracts, engaged in enforcement, and most significantly, established COMSIGN (a subsidiary of COMDA) as the sole Certifying Authority of digital signatures in Israel.
The case has wide implications relative to the integrity of legal records of the State of Israel.
The Israeli Bar Association recently filed a Judicial Disciplinary Complaint against the Vice President of the Tel Avid District Court, Judge Vardah AlSheikh, for the falsification of a transcript of proceedings in her court. Judge Vardah AlSheikh has been handling some of the key cases in banking and corporate regulation in Israel in recent years. [5]
Haaretz daily published a couple of years ago report detailing the falsification of court records in the Detainess Courts. [6]
The Human Rights Alert report also documents numerous cases of falsification of judicial records of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel. [4]
Similar type of fraud has been rampant in the state and federal courts in the United States over the past decade,[7] and is tightly linked to failing banking regulation in the United States. [8]
The 2010 State Comptroller report documents that two large US-based corporations - IBM and EDS - were engaged in the implementation of the new electronic record systems of the Israeli courts, where contract was issued with no bidding, with no specifications, and with no core supervision by State employees, all in violation of the law and regulations of the State of Israel. [9]
The 2012 Human Rights Alert submission to the United Nations concludes: [4]The findings hold serious implications relative to local socioeconomic trends, banking regulation, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:
1. The validity of any legal public records, originating in the courts of the State of Israel should be re-assessed;
2. Nations, including but not limited to those, who are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961), should re-assess any faith and credit, given to legal public records originating in the courts of the State of Israel;
3. Attempts to address the crisis would likely be compounded by conflicts of rivaling security, legal, and financial groups.
The submission recommends:
Major efforts should be made to address what amounts to a constitutional crisis in a nation with no constitution:
1. The electronic records systems of the courts should be examined and repaired by Israeli computing/legal experts, under accountability to the legislature.
2. A Truth and Reconciliation Commission should be established relative to events surrounding the 2002 death of Supreme Court Chief Clerk Shmaryahu Cohen and the role of the judiciary in implementation of the invalid, false and deliberately misleading electronic record systems in the courts;
3. No court of any nation should be permitted to develop and implement its own electronic record systems.
