This article uses the list of officers of the International Movement Against All Forms of Discrimination and Racism (IMADR) to present the writer’s strongly critical view of the people involved and the ideological tendencies surrounding the organization.
By listing names connected to the Buraku Liberation League, UN human-rights bodies, educational circles, religious organizations, and migrant-support groups, the writer frames them as part of a human network opposed to Japan’s traditional values and national character.
It is a text that raises questions concerning IMADR, the Buraku Liberation League, human-rights activism, the postwar left, and UN-centered rights discourse.
