This chapter criticizes what it sees as a structure in which Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs used taxpayers’ money to cooperate with anti-Japan activists and organizations through UN-related forums and commemorative events.

In August 2005.
In order to hold open discussions between the Japanese government and NGOs concerning UN reform, a new framework called the “Public Forum on UN Reform” was launched in joint sponsorship with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Japan International Volunteer Center (Kiyotaka Takahashi), and Peace Boat (Tetsu Kawasaki).
This forum continued until its 10th session in March 2012 and then came to a close, but its achievements and issues were compiled in March 2013 in the form of an external evaluation report titled “Evaluation Report on the Public Forum on UN Reform.”
