12-10-24 The Israel Bar Association refuses to disclose the nature of its relationship with ComSign, LTD - sole certifier and hacker of the electronic signatures of the State of Israel

The Human Rights Alert (NGO) submission to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations provides evidence of large-scale fraud in the implementation of the Electronic Signature Act (2001), which undermines the integrity of the justice and financial systems of the State of Israel.  Key figures in such conduct are Attorneys Yoram HaCohen and Amit Ashkenazi, senior officers of the Ministry of Justice.  The Israel Bar Association, while expressing its authority to review Ethics Complaints against the two attorneys, refuses to provide a statement on the record regarding its relationship with ComSign, LTD. Public records indicate that the Bar is in close business relationship with ComSign, LTD. A reasonable person would seriously doubt that the Israel Bar Association and/or its District Committees are competent for review of Ethics Complaints against Attorneys HaCohen and/or Ashkenazi in matters pertaining to their conduct vis-à-vis ComSign, LTD.  The Human Rights Alert submission, titled, " Integrity, or lack thereof, in the electronic record systems in the courts of the State of Israel", is scheduled for review in January-February 2013.
 



Jerusalem, October  24 – Human Rights Alert (NGO) has released recent correspondence with the Israel Bar Association-Central Committee, and the Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem-District Committees, pertaining to Ethics Complaints, previously filed with the Bar against Attorneys Yoram HaCohen and Amit Ashkenazi. [1-5]

The latest communications show that:
·                  Neither the Israel Bar-Central Committee, nor the Jerusalem-, Tel-Aviv-District Committees have responded so far on previous requests to disclose the nature of their relationship with ComSign, LTD. 
·                  The Tel Aviv District engages in communications of dubious nature in this matter:  It fails to refer to the previously filed Complaint against Attorney Amit Ashkenazi as such.  It only confirms receipt of a "letter" [פנייה]; it failed to issue a reference number for the Complaint against Attorney Amit Ashkenazi; It fails to explain, why the previously filed Complaint against Attorney Amit Ashkenazi has not been registered by the Tel Aviv-District as such, and it fails to include a reference number for its recent communication in this matter.  Overall, conduct of the Tel Aviv Bar suggests that it is ready, willing, able to initiate a simulated complaint review procedure.

On such background, a reasonable person would seriously doubt that the Israel Bar Association and/or its District Committees are competent for review of Ethics Complaints against Attorneys HaCohen and/or Ashkenazi in matters pertaining to their conduct vis-à-vis ComSign, LTD.

Conduct of the Israel Bar Association in this matter is not unique among Israeli professional organizations, either:
·         The Israeli chapter of ISACA, "The Worldwide Association of Information Systems Professionals",  "dedicated to the audit, control, and security of information systems," and its President Mr Doron Ronen, CPA (Isr), refuse to opine on integrity, or lack thereof, in the electronic records of the State of Israel, while, attempting legal intimidation against the author.
·         The Israeli Institute of Certified Public Accountants and its President Doron Copman, CPA (Isr) refuse to opine, or accept complaint, pertaining to alleged fraud in the 2012 Audit Letter for ComSign, signed by Accountant Erez Shefler CPA (Isr).

The notable exception are a number of Israeli computing/cryptology and legal experts,  who were willing to advise and opine on the matter.

The Human Rights Alert submission to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations is titled, " Integrity, or lack thereof, in the electronic record systems in the courts of the State of Israel", and subtitled, "A court, which refuses to certify its own records, is certified corrupt".  It is scheduled for review in January-February 2013.
