A piece written on July 3, 2019.
This essay examines the actual activities of the organization IMADR and the structure of its anti-Japan advocacy at the United Nations, sharply criticizing the way narratives that demean Japan have been spread through international institutions.
It argues that while remaining silent about human rights abuses in China and on the Korean Peninsula, this group has continued to portray Japan alone as a discriminatory state, and it questions the networks behind such efforts as well as the responsibility of media organizations such as Asahi Shimbun and NHK that have supported or amplified them.

They had now gone so far as to travel to the United Nations and devote themselves to activities aimed at degrading Japan.
This was a chapter I published on 2018-08-27 under the title: In China, needless to say, every one of them would be immediately arrested and detained as traitors to the state and subjected to severe punishment, including the death penalty.
What kind of organization is this man called Taisuke Komatsu, whom 99.99 percent of the Japanese people had never heard of, and the organization to which he belongs, IMDR…?
The core organizations that make up this body were not content merely to go on reaping what may be called exorbitant profits from the Japanese government and local authorities as pressure groups linked with organized crime…
Perhaps because their true nature had already been exposed within Japan by an incident in Osaka some time ago…
they now went to the United Nations and threw themselves into activities to degrade Japan.
It goes without saying that this organization is a most convenient one for the anti-Japan propaganda of China and the Korean Peninsula.
If Japan had, like other advanced countries, a powerful counterintelligence agency, or institutions concerned with national security like the FBI or CIA,
it would surely be conducting a thorough investigation into whether those providing this organization with funds include parties connected to China or the Korean Peninsula.
In China, needless to say, every one of them would be immediately arrested and detained as traitors to the state and subjected to severe punishment, including the death penalty.
Though calling itself a human rights organization, it has raised not a single voice of protest against the mass arrest of hundreds of human rights lawyers in China,
nor against the appalling oppression and persecution inflicted upon the Uyghurs and Tibet in both human rights and religion,
not one word.
As for the absurdity of the South Korean courts and the tyranny of North Korea, which by now the whole world knows,
not a single person has ever encountered any report that this group raised a voice of protest at the United Nations.
And yet this group keeps saying at the United Nations, in order to degrade Japan, utterly outrageous things such as that
the Ainu are being discriminated against,
or Okinawa is being discriminated against.
And in the end, with some woman called Kume Sasaki, whose background no one even knows,
a woman who is obviously either a South Korean or a Zainichi Korean and clearly cosmetically altered,
in Paris…
they published a truly laughable fraudulent publication claiming that Japan is a country full of gropers and a great violator of women’s human rights, and had stupid, ignorant, racist French people criticize Japan.
This group must have been the mastermind behind that…
There can also be no doubt that this group is connected with that truly incorrigible woman, Yukiyu Shin, a Zainichi Korean, who fled to Germany the moment an anti-spy law was enacted…
How terrible also are media organizations such as Asahi and NHK, which have treated such people as important figures…
Did the Süddeutsche Zeitung quote Asahi articles while knowing that actual state of affairs…?
That newspaper company too is truly a vile and base newspaper company.
