Japanese resolution voices concern on China rights issues


Japanese resolution voices concern on China rights issuesAFP and Reuters, TOKYOThe Japanese parliament yesterday passed a rare resolution expressing concern about rights issues in China, including the treatment of its Uighur Muslim population and Hong Kong, ahead of the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics. “Human rights issues cannot just be domestic issues, because human rights hold universal values and are a rightful matter of concern for the international community,” the resolution said. Lawmakers stand up to show their support as the lower house of parliament adopts a resolution on human rights in China in Tokyo yesterday. The resolution also calls on the Japanese government to engage constructively on rights issues in China. Japan in December said it would not send government representatives to the Beijing Olympics as it called on China to respect human rights and the rule of law.
