Japan Urged to Mind Its Poor Human Rights Performance
Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, a UN human rights expert on the basis of survey urged Japan to ban sexual abuses against the minors.

Meanwhile, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women expressed concern over the ceaseless distinction between the sexes of minorities including emigrant women in Japan, strongly demanding it take a legal measure to eliminate discrimination.

Rodong Sinmun Friday observes in a commentary in this regard:

This proves that the international community is going to disallow sexual abuses in Japan any longer.

There are still sexual slaves of modern version in the world. It is shame of mankind.

What is more serious is that the sexual abuses in Japan have been committed at the tacit connivance of the authorities.

The abominable human rights abuses and discrimination against women have long been rampant in the society of Japan. In the last century the Japanese imperialists committed inhuman crimes related to sexual slavery, unprecedented in history.

Great irony is that Japan is pulling up other countries over their "human rights issue", not aware of where it stands at present.

Following the U.S. styling itself "human rights judge," Japan is taking the lead in pressurizing others and interfering in their internal affairs while vociferating about their "human rights issue."

Explicitly speaking, Japan is not entitled to talk about others' "human rights issue."

Japan should pay heed to its poor human rights performance sparking off concerns of the international community. This is an urgent issue facing the Japanese authorities.

Japan had better mind its own business.
