The Importance of IAJ Data; With Amanda Story And Crystal Salazar

     Slam the Gavel welcomes back Amanda Story who was last on Season 4, Episode 142, and Crystal Salazar Season 5, Episode 174.        Today we discussed the major human rights issue in the United States — the fact that America still does not have a fully independent National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) aligned with the UN Paris Principles, despite international efforts dating back to the 1990s.       In 2023, the NHRI for USA campaign publicly pushed for the creation of one, and in 2025 the Institute for Advancement of Justice & Human Rights (IAJ) launched as an independent organization working toward human rights investigations, accountability, and advocacy surrounding issues such as family court abuses, CPS misconduct, disability rights, and systemic due process concerns.       We talked about both the broader national implications and Crystal’s personal experience — including her Texas CPS case, international human rights findings connected to her situation, and her current asylum journey to the UK — as part of a larger conversation about why independent human rights oversight in the U.S. matters.https://nhriforusa.org/abouthttps://www.iaj.institute/To Reach Amanda Story and Crystal Salazar: [email protected] tok @crystal.salazar04Texas Tribune Link: https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/11/texas-foster-care-janis-jack-fifth-circuit/Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.
