In each country, there is a jurisdiction which controls the legality of
the government decisions or actions.

I do not understand your position!

When one has a problem of right:  

1. On a purely personal basis or under an association, we can start a
complaint.  
2.  If the complaint is not admissible:  at least his duty was made.
If the jurisdiction concerned is not qualified:  we will soon discover
the qualified court.  
3. If nothing is done:  we will obtain no result nor publicity.
4. If done properly, and if we were right : we get results.


The right for complaint is written in Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.
Article 8. 
        Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent
        national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights
        granted him by the constitution or by law.
        
Are you "computer experts"  afraid of doing such a complaint with the
competant national tribunal ?

It might take only a few hours to do, but it might result a lot of noise
and publicity  if done properly.
