Japan: UN Working Group urges establishment of independent NHRI & need to address deeply embedded unfair gender and social norms; recognising significant progress in BHR

'UN experts say Japan has made strides on business and human rights, but must tackle systemic challenges' 04 August 2023

UN experts today commended Japan’s commitment to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), and urged the government to address deeply embedded unfair gender and social norms to ensure full protection for human rights in the country...

The Working Group observed a high level of awareness of UNGPs among large businesses in Japan and stressed the importance of intensifying efforts to raise awareness among small- and medium-sized enterprises and the general public. To this end, it is imperative that the business community improves capacity and understanding about human rights due diligence along value chains.

In its end of mission statement, the Working Group emphasised the urgent need to address deeply embedded unfair gender and social norms to ensure protection and respect of human rights for all without discrimination. The experts urged the Government and businesses to adopt initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion, and safeguard the rights of at-risk groups, including women, Indigenous Peoples, Buraku people, persons with disabilities, migrant workers, and LGBTQI+ persons. They welcomed positive practices adopted by local governments to tackle discrimination against marginalised communities.

During the visit, the Working Group examined issues including harassment and sexual abuse in the media and entertainment industry, challenges regarding the treatment of foreign workers under the Technical Intern Training Program, and the Fukushima Daiichi power station’s clean-up and decommissioning efforts...

The Working Group’s final report, including its findings and key recommendations, will be presented to the Human Rights Council in June 2024.
