I have a group of several hundred friends and associates. We live in Asia. According to our reading of a US Senate-ratified treaty, we should have certain rights under US laws, and under the US constitution. However, local US government officials here in our country of residence refuse to answer our letters or applications for remedial treatment or assistance.
In regarding to the filing a Complaint for Declaratory Relief in a US court, a law student in the USA said that we lack "case or controversy" to establish any facts sufficient to warrant jurisdiction ..... and quoted 28 USC 2201: In a case of actual controversy within its jurisdiction, .... upon the filing of an appropriate pleading, may declare the rights and other legal relations of any interested party seeking such declaration, whether or not further relief is or could be sought.
Can we get around this problem somehow? We have tried to contact government officials in the USA, but they don't respond to us either.
