To the 111th Session of the Human Rights Committee Members
Japanese Association for the right to Freedom of Speech (JRFS)
(NGO in Consultative Status with the ECOSOC)
July 15th, 20
I attended the 109th session of the Human Rights Committee last October and presented the catastrophic human rights situation in Fukushima. I also warned the Committee of the intention of the Abe Cabinet of making a law to suppress the right to speak on the pretext of protecting state secret.
As a result, two special rapporteurs from the Human Rights Council, namely Mr. Frank La Rue, Special Rapportur for the freedom of opinion and expression
and Mr. Anand Grover, the Special Rapporteur regarding health made good recommendation to the Japanese Government.
Also Ms. Navi Pllay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights,
criticized the attitude of the Japanese Government at a press conference.
Unfortunately the Special Secrecy Law was adopted by the Diet
by the end of last year
(violation of Articles 19 and 25 of the ICCPR.
In addition, at the beginning of this month,
the Government decided by a Cabinet Meeting
to allow the exercise of the right to collective self-defense
in clear violation of Article 9 of Japanese Constitution.
This also constitutes a blunt violation of Article 20 of the ICCPR.
Japanese state employees have their right to political activities
denied by the State Personnel Law
and other regulations established using as model the very repressive US Hatch Act (1939).
On the other hand, there is no law that applies to ministers
and high-ranking public officials
who act for their personal interests using their power and influence.
Based on what is set out above,
we request the Committee to recommend the following to the Government:
1) To retract the recent Cabinet Meeting decision that is tantamount to a “propaganda for war”. (Article 20, para. 1);
2) To cancel the Special Secrecy Law that affects both the freedom of expression and the right to political activities and violates Articles 19 and 25 of the ICCPR;
3) To ratify the individual complaint mechanism as already recommended by the HRC (Concluding Observations on the 5th Periodic report para 8);
4) To recommend the immediate withdrawal of the Public Offices Election Law, the State Personnel Law and any other irrational regulations placed on the freedom of expression and the right to political activities, as previously recommended by the Human Rights Committee (Concluding Observations on the 5th Periodic Report, para 26);
5) To accept the investigation in Japan of Mr. Frank La Rue, HRC Special Rapporteur for freedom of opinion and expression.
