HRN invited two experts
from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and
held seminars in Tokyo and Iwate on 22nd and 23rd July. A number of people
including those engaged in relief efforts attended it and they completed the
visit successfully.
Also, the UN experts
conducted activities such as dialogues with NGOs and meetings with Diet Members
in Tokyo and Iwate. HRN highly appreciates your participation and cooperation.
Upon the strong request
of the participants, handouts and presentation documents of the seminar are now
available here. HRN hopes the
participants and others who could not joined in the seminar will refer the
materials.
HRN will continue
working hard on various activities to protect human rights, based on the
international standards, of people affected by the earthquake and the nuclear
power plant accidents.
