FAC Initiates International Human Rights Complaint Against US’s Sex Offender Registry
The Florida Action Committee, Inc. has initiated a Complaint against the United States through the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Complaint alleges the public sex offender registry constitutes cruel and degrading treatment in violation of Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
A petition calling for the High Commissioner to investigate the sex offender registry as a human rights violation accompanies and supplements the Complaint. The petition was started approximately two weeks ago and has collected more than three thousand signatures so far. FAC will continue to encourage individuals to sign the petition, but felt that three thousand signatures is a sufficient base to demonstrate to the United Nations that the registry is a problem.
A copy of FAC’s letter can be found here: FAC Complaint to UN and the petition can be found here.
While FAC took the initiative in starting this petition, it is by no means a FAC project. Every individual forced to register in the United States and every member of their family, friend, employer or citizen concerned about the human rights of others is a party to it.

As always you guys did a great job and you always keep pushing forward. Thank you.
How can we keep track of the United Nations’ process?
Dear Gail Colletta,
First time in a long time, I feel you are on the right track.
Thoughts and prayers etc. etc.
Keep the ideas coming.

Just signed.
I might add public “notification” circumvents actual safety and mental health boundaries along with being an inhuman and unnatural schema that promotes hate, animosity and resentment – not (real world) public safety.
Online shaming gives the public a false sense of empowerment and law enforcement a false sense of purpose.
God Speed, prayers, hope and perseverance in this journey towards bringing the entire World’s eye-opening event to what has been happening to us and our families for decades, without much if any relief in sight.
Keep in mind, here is what I found about their session gatherings.
“The General Assembly meets annually in regular session, intensively from September to December, and resumes in January until all issues on the agenda are addressed”.
So if that is not brought forth this session, we might not have to be on 2023’s assembly.
The registry is a violation of human rights, not only by the person named on the list but their family members. It creates an unsafe environment for children whom the list is supposed to protect. I’m here to say it doesn’t as it has put my own children at risk for violence.
The sex offender registry is unconstitutional and must be abolished.

I do not remember who it was, but someone on F.A.C a few years back wrote that they were on the registry, and they had to home school their children. This was because once the rumor got around the school about the kid’s parent being on the registry, they were mocking the kids and isolating them out for bullying. None of the kids wanted anything to do with the registered parent’s kids and the kids became scared, withdrawn and depressed.
I am sure staying home and not having any friends is devastating to children. Then, if that were not enough, it was the same in the neighborhood because all the kids there were told to stay away from that family. So, the moral of the story is, the non-punishment registry punishes the kids of a registrant, and it is their fault?
Yes, my kids are homeschooled for this very reason. It’s absolutely awful, and affects everyone .

So sorry any of us have to go through this daily suffering.
This example and countless others show that the registry is nothing more than public shaming and give the police “busy work” like a child in kindergarten…making it appear that they are actually doing something!
It is just a “feel good” scheme to placate the public with lies which rather than protecting children actually divert attention away from the real danger which is not someone listed (or even a stranger) BUT rather someone the child already knows (and is trusted).
