In recent years, there have been serious human rights violations in Xinjiang Uyghur, Tibet, Southern Mongolia, Hong Kong, Myanmar, etc., including violations of freedom of religion and forced imprisonment. The issue of human rights is not limited to the internal affairs of a single country, as human rights have universal value and are a legitimate concern of the international community.
In response to this situation, many people who are being oppressed, such as those whose democracy is being unilaterally denied, have called for support from the international community, and some countries have enacted laws to support them. Serious concerns about human rights violations have also been shared at the Japan-US Summit Meeting and the G7.
Under these circumstances, Japan, which stands for respect for human rights, is required to make a constructive commitment from a firm standpoint by adopting a substantive and strong political-level document to guide Japan's human rights diplomacy.
The Japanese Diet members recognize that the change of the status quo by force, symbolized by serious human rights violations, is a threat to the international community and strongly condemn it, and strongly urge Japan to immediately cease serious human rights violations in a manner acceptable to the international community.
