Choose your 10 favorite reasons why Japan should NOT be a UN Permanent Security Council Member. Statements by politicians in Japan clearly show any of the following situations WILL NOT CHANGE any time soon in the unique flower of Asia:
1. Japan has no respect for the human rights of foreigners anywhere in and out of Japan
2. Foreigners have no rights in Japan. As a police officer said, “foreigners have no right to privacy."
3. Japanese don’t consider non-Japanese to be fully human and certainly not of the same value as the descendants of the goddess Amaterasu.
4. As a corollary to #3, no foreigner or foreign country has the intellectual capacity to understand the beauty and depth of spirit of the Japanese – so they shouldn’t tell us what we can or can’t do. This includes whaling.
5. The Japanese language is very difficult; too much for the simple minds of foreigners.
6. We don’t want foreigners peeing in our beautiful pond. So send your refugees to the world cesspool: America.
7. Special Note: The Japanese constitution specifically applies ONLY to the Japanese. This means, among other things, that IT IS NOT a crime to do anything – including murder to a foreigner. THINK ABOUT IT!!!
8. It also means that there are NO protections for foreigners inscribed in the constitution of Japan. FOREIGNERS ARE OUTSIDE THE LAW!!!
9. Japan feels the whole world is against them and puts them down. The Japanese are so xenophobic it makes the Myanmar generals look open minded.
10. No business in the world has the ability to produce products to the minimum quality standard for the Japanese consumer. American beef and American cars, stay away please.
11. No foreign manager need apply as they will not be taken seriously as a candidate for upper management in a Japanese corporation with international operations. Exception: one or two businesses, like Toyota brought in a “token” white guy to show the world how open minded they are BUT
12. Toyota keeps thousands of Brazilian slave-like laborers in bondage with little pay, no benefits and little health and education services available for their children who are spat upon and will never be any more than second class foreign labor to feed the production mill (a permanent slave labor class in nearly the same style as the Mitsubishi Korean slaves of WWII) – tried and true never dies in Japan.
13. The Japanese love peace. They don’t want foreigners to sail their ships into Tokyo Bay again especially those Chinese barbarians.
14. Japan is a criminal state that supports legalized crime. Organized crime syndicates are legal in Japan. They have official headquarters and corporate officers. They run businesses in Japan that would be illegal anywhere else – except maybe in Al Capone’s Chicago. If involved in or caught in any illegal activity in a foreign country, which is not illegal in Japan, the police here will not assist foreign law enforcement.
15. The Japanese police are a criminal organization. The UN has complained.
“Traditionally in Japan, confessions have been known as the king of evidence,” said Kenzo Akiyama, a lawyer who is a former judge. “Especially if it’s a big case, even if the accused hasn’t done anything, the authorities will seek a confession through psychological torture.”
The law allows the police to detain suspects for up to 23 days without an indictment. Suspects have almost no contact with the outside world and are subject to constant interrogation, a practice that has long drawn criticism from organizations like the United Nations Human Rights Committee and Amnesty International. The ‘‘substitute prison,’’ known as ‘‘Daiyo Kangoku’’ in Japanese is used to keep pretrial suspects in police custody. In light of such claims, the U.N. Committee against Torture expressed grave concerns in May last year about major human rights issues in Japan, including the use of ‘‘Daiyo Kangoku.’’
The Geneva-based committee said that ‘‘Daiyo Kangoku’’ is abuse of the detainees’ rights and ‘‘may lead to a de facto disrespect of the principles of the presumption of innocence, the right to silence and the right to defense.’’ (Thank you Daniel)
16. Japanese business engages in illegal, immoral and unethical business practices with near impunity. If called on it they merely bow, give a simple “I’m sorry,” lay low a little while and then continue on as if nothing happened. For this reason (among many) they are lothe to have foreign investors who will ask “difficult” questions.
17. People of Korean ancestry are not citizens of Japan. They never can be. It does not matter how many generations they have lived in Japan. They can never be second class citizens because they can’t be citizens. They are second class foreigners. (check out in Utoro) Of course this means they also have no protection under the law because the Japanese constitution ONLY applies to Japanese.
18. Doudou Diene, The UN’s Special Rapporteur on Racism for the Human Rights Council visited Japan in 2006 to investigate allegations of human rights abuse in Japan. What he discovered was shocking to him and he said that Japan’s Human Rights record was “appalling.”
19. A 1997 law concerning the Ainu culture does not touch upon the promotion of their human rights. In this regard, the Ministry of Land and Infrastructure indicated that the Japanese Constitution guarantees equality before the law of each Japanese. Therefore, the demands of the Ainu people to get recognition of the rights as indigenous peoples cannot be satisfied, as this would be in breach of the Constitution.
20. The Justice Minister of Japan, in a land where criminals are legal entities, admits to associating with terrorists and having conversations with them; The Justice Minister of Japan supports the death penalty as a matter of cultural preservation.
21. Comfort women. Japan continues to say it had expressed apologies and remorse over "comfort women" and was "in good faith" on the issue. Japan is so deep in denial over this issue it is unbelievable. If one looks for a change of heart towards women in Japan you would be hard pressed considering the feudalistic view men have towards women. Equal rights for women in Japan? Talk about a pipe dream!
22. The Japanese parliament is preparing legislation to reword Artcle 24 of the Japanese Constitution, the article on gender equality. Under the proposed rewording women would lose equality by being basically forced to stay home. Also stripped away under the rewording would be work place safeguards such as sexual harassment. (thank you Daniel)
For these reasons (and probably many more unknown to this writer) Japan absolutely must not be selected to be a permanent member of the Security Council. If a human rights issue comes before the council it would be in Japan’s interest to veto it.
