\nHi Blog. \u00a0I had a conversation with Upper House Dietmember Aihara Kumiko<\/a> (62, from Hokkaido, elected 2007 on Proportional Representation) yesterday. \u00a0With a labor union background, she has an eye on a number of human rights issues, including the Nikkei Visa<\/a> and NJ “Trainee” Programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I took the opportunity to ask about a few things that are overdue for NJ resident rights in Japan (which the recent polls on Debito.org cover<\/a>), namely:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Japan signing the Hague Convention on Child Abductions<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Japan passing the long-proposed general law protecting human rights (jinken yougo houan<\/a>)<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Japan passing a law against racial discrimination<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Japan approving local suffrage for NJ residents with Permanent Residency<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    She answered that the DPJ ruling coalition would be submitting the bill for local suffrage in next year’s Diet session.<\/p>\n

    The other three were currently not being considered in any committee or study group at this time. \u00a0I asked when they might be, and she didn’t know.<\/p>\n

    Just letting readers of Debito.org know. \u00a0Comments douzo. \u00a0Arudou Debito in Sapporo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
