国連 人種差別撤廃委員会 最終見解書に対する声明
偏向した委員会勧告は日本国民に対する人権侵害
日本政府は国連に委員会改革を求めるべき
国連人種差別撤廃委員会(以下委員会)は8月16、17日に対日審査会を行い、30日に最終見解書を発表。日本政府に対し慰安婦問題を含む人種差別諸問題について勧告を発しました。
これらの勧告は、非常に偏向したもので、日本の国柄を破壊する内容です。人権を守るべき委員会が、日本国民に対する人種差別、人権侵害を創り出していると言える内容です。
日本政府は、すでにジュネーブ国際機関日本政府代表部大使より、極めて遺憾であると申し入れましたが、このような勧告を出す委員会の仕組み自体を国連に厳しく問題提起し、改革を求めるべきであります。もし改革が実現しないのなら、日本は条約批准を撤回するか、または人権理事会から脱退すべきです。膨大な分担金を拠出しているにも関わらず、日本と日本国民の人権を侵害するような人権委員会に日本が留まる必要は全くありません。
慰安婦の真実国民運動は、この度の委員会に21運動団体合同の意見書を送り、現地で審査会に参加、会合で発言しました。(ニュースレター216号から9回にわたりこの内容をご紹介しました。)この経過を踏まえて、委員会への抗議及び委員会改革を求める理由と日本政府への要求をここに述べる次第です。

STATEMENT CONCERNING “CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS” ISSUED BY THE UNITED NATIONS COMMITTEE ON THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION (CERD)
CERD’s recommendations demonstrate bias against and infringement upon the human rights of the Japanese people
We urge the Japanese government to request that CERD be structurally and procedurally reformed
On August 16 and 17 the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (hereinafter CERD) considered reports submitted by Japan. On August 30 CERD released its concluding observations, as well as recommendations to the Japanese government concerning problems stemming from alleged racial discrimination, e.g., the comfort-women issue.
These recommendations are exceedingly biased, and threaten to destroy the very fabric of our nation, Japan. CERD has been entrusted with protecting human rights, but instead it is fostering racial discrimination against the people of Japan, and infringing upon their human rights.
The Japanese government has already expressed its disappointment via the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Permanent Mission of Japan to the International Organizations in Geneva. Nevertheless, it behooves our government to tender to the United Nations, clearly and straightforwardly, its objections to the workings of a committee that issues recommendations of this ilk, and to call for the reform of CERD. If no reform is accomplished, Japan should withdraw its ratification of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, or resign from the Human Rights Council. We cannot think of a single reason for Japan to remain a member of an organization that infringes upon Japanese human rights, especially given Japan’s enormous financial contribution.
The Japan Alliance for Truth About Comfort Women submitted a memorandum prepared jointly with the 21-member Japan NGO Coalition Against Racial Discrimination to CERD.(They have been reported by our newsletter from No.216 9 for times.) We also participated in the CERD session in Geneva, during which we presented our position. In view of the events that transpired there, we have outlined our objections to CERD’s recommendations and our reasons for requesting the reform of that committee. To these we add our appeals to the Japanese government.
