私は "Two types of human rights" suggested by the victim’s perspective:
Under the Japanese system of medical care and treatment for persons who have caused serious cases under the condition of insanity" という論題で発表しました。
<Abstract>
The Japanese system of medical care and treatment for persons who have caused serious cases under the condition of insanity (hereinafter called MCTIP) aims at promoting the reintegration of people who have committed serious acts of harm to others, such as murder or arson, while in a state of insanity or mental deterioration. For those eligible of MCTIP, specialized medical care will be provided by designated medical institutions, and the probation office will adjust the living environment after discharge and ensure necessary medical care and support. In terms of judicial procedures, they are not prosecuted or are innocent even if they are indicted, and are not considered criminals eligible for correction. On the other hand, also in cases of MCTIP, there are also victims and their families, but once the perpetrator is treated under MCTIP, the things that is recognized as general for victims are no longer be recognized for the victim of MCTIP perpetrator. These include, for example, receiving information about the perpetrator and conveying victim's feelings to the perpetrator. In this presentation, I will summarize the rights and interests of victims that are restricted under MCTIP in Japan, and also give some consideration to the impact of such restrictions on the perpetrator's reintegration into society. In addition I will want to discuss how public records and archives related to MCTIP, which are not used or browsed but essentially supposed to be intellectual resources shared by the nation, are managed. Keywords : insanity, victims, human rights, record keeping.
