Synopsis
The human rights issues in Japan are multifaceted. Over decades, domestic and international human rights organisations have raised concerns, but government obstinacy has meant there has been little progress. Recommendations of UN human rights bodies are routinely ignored, and statements by the government in the Japanese parliament regarding these recommendations have been dismissive. At the review of Japan's implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in 2014, Professor Nigel Rodley, then chair of the UN Human Rights Committee, lamented the lack of true engagement by Japan and the country's unwillingness to take any action on the conclusions of UN human rights bodies. Equally worrying is the clear trend over recent years of popular publications bashing neighbouring countries and their nationals living in Japan as well as UN human rights bodies. This book explores the issues surrounding human rights in Japan, and what the future might hold for the country.

"This rich collection relies on the deep expertise of the authors, many of whom have worked in international organizations that investigate human rights issues, including United Nations bodies...[It] should become a standard reference for writers concerned with the plight of women, minorities, and others who do not enjoy the favored status of mainstream members of Japanese society." - Lawrence Repeta, The Magazine of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, Volume 53 * No. 1
