Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1970s, the three most salient minority groups in Japan - the politically dormant Ainu, the active but unsuccessful Koreans, and the former outcaste group of Burakumin - have all expanded their activism despite the unfavorable domestic political environment. In Rights Make Might, Kiyoteru Tsutsui examines why, and finds an answer in the galvanizing effects of global human rights on local social movements. Tsutsui chronicles the transformative impact of global human rights ideas and institutions on minority activists, which changed their understandings about their standing in Japanese society and propelled them to new international venues for political claim making. The global forces also changed the public perception and political calculus in Japan over time, catalyzing substantial gains for their movements. Having benefited from global human rights, all three groups repaid their debt by contributing to the consolidation and expansion of human rights principles and instruments outside of Japan. Drawing on interviews and archival data, Rights Make Might offers a rich historical comparative analysis of the relationship between international human rights and local politics that contributes to our understanding of international norms and institutions, social movements, human rights, ethnoracial politics, and Japanese society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tsuguhiko Kadokawa (80), a former chairman of publishing firm Kadokawa Corporation, was arrested by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on September 14, 2022, on suspicion of bribery related to the Tokyo Olympics. He was held in pre-trial detention, in a solitary room, for 226 days while he continued to deny the charges.As he peered at the winter moon through a corner of a small window in an unheated cell under 24-hour surveillance, he likened the window that had been made to be seen—rather than to see out of—to the fake criminal justice system and democracy that he was experiencing.Repeatedly denied bail despite his ailing health, the author was subjected to ""hostage justice"" as the criminal justice system waited for him to give in and confess.""You won't leave here alive,"" detention center doctors warned him. This book also explains the legal procedures the author is taking to end hostage justice, including his lawsuit against the government that asserts the unconstitutionality of the system because it violates the Japanese Constitution and international human rights law.
