Abe’s consistent refusal to consider allowing even a modest number of refugees to relocate to Japan has prompted criticism of the country’s strict policy on asylum: last year, it received a record 5,000 applications but accepted just 11 people.



 

Japan says it must look after its own before allowing in Syrian refugees

Prime minister Shinzo Abe rejects criticism of a policy that has seen only 11 people given asylum in the past year. 

Japan must improve the living standards of its own people before it can consider accepting Syrian refugees, the prime minister, Shinzo Abe said, as he announced $1.6bn in new assistance for Syrians and Iraqis caught up in conflicts in the Middle East.

Japan takes no Syrian refugees yet despite giving $200m to help fight Isis

Abe’s consistent refusal to consider allowing even a modest number of refugees to relocate to Japan has prompted criticism of the country’s strict policy on asylum: last year, it received a record 5,000 applications but accepted just 11 people.

Speaking at the UN general assembly in New York, Abe insisted Japan must first tackle crises posed by its falling birth rate and an ageing population, and continue its push to boost the number of women in the labour market.

“It is an issue of demography,” Abe told reporters after his speech to the UN general assembly. “I would say that before accepting immigrants or refugees, we need to have more activities by women, elderly people and we must raise our birth rate. There are many things that we should do before accepting immigrants.”

Abe added Japan, which is pushing for a permanent seat on the UN security council, would “discharge our own responsibility” in addressing the causes of the refugee crisis.

“Japan would like to contribute by changing the conditions that give rise to refugees. The cause of this tragedy is the fear of violence and terrorism, and terror of poverty. The world must cooperate in order for them to find a way to escape poverty.”

Japan’s latest aid package includes $810m for refugees and internally displaced people fleeing fighting in Syria and Iraq – three times the amount it provided last year – and $750m to fund peace-building efforts in the Middle East and Africa.

Human rights groups have highlighted the fact Japan and other high-income countries such as Russia, Singapore and South Korea have failed to helprelieve the pressure on countries in the Middle East and Europe, as they struggle to cope with the influx of people caught up in the world’s worst refugee crisis since the second word war.

Japan, however, has pointed to its record on providing aid to refugees: last year, it contributed $181.6m to the UN refugee agency, second only to the US. But it has not matched its financial largesse with pledged to accommodate Syrian and other refugees.

Of 60 Syrians already living in Japan who applied for refugee status, three have been successful and another 30 or so have been given permission to stay long-term for humanitarian reasons, according to the Japanese association for refugees.

Japan’s population is expected to fall dramatically in the coming decades, with experts predicting a serious strain on the economy from a shrinking workforce and rising pension and social security costs. But few politicians have broached immigration as a possible solution.

“To publicly broach mass immigration – and the multicultural adjustments in Japanese life that it would necessarily entail – as a means of solving the country’s looming demographic crisis is something that verges on sacrilege,” said MG Sheftall, a professor of modern Japanese cultural history at Shizuoka University. “For an important national figure to do so would be an act of political suicide.”

While he did not mention any country by name, the EU council president, Donald Tusk, appeared to round on the “hypocrisy” of Gulf states criticising European nations for not taking in enough refugees, while refusing to accept any themselves.

“Many countries represented here deal with this problem in a much simpler way; namely by not allowing migrants and refugees to enter their territories at all,” Tusk said in New York.

      I used to wonder about the Japanese people but now I see some logic … I say Japanese people because they allow their government to run amok building “nuclear power stations” in totally inappropriate areas..and then completely LYING about the day to day consequences… The government or its lackeys knowing the full risk of what they are doing but the “cost” is acceptable”..Now we….the rest of the world has been totally engulfed in its consequences we can no longer enjoy the Northern Pacific seafoods like we used to..( john west , alley etc)nowadays we have to take a flask of iodine to restaurants to kill the radiation of the foods served…(two to three drops of lugols in a glass for a couple of days) the affects of radiation on the thyroid are horrific..corporations and governments need to be held accountable..do they care…not in the least..you just keep paying your taxes

      News for the heart. They have a country.

    • Slimey

      Japan is FOOLY right to ignore the hook-nosed ugly vulture Jean Claude Juncker and the UN. They are deluded people under the influence of Satan to destroy Western culture. :cool:

    • Slimey

      GOOD for them. Western nation MUST worry about their own citizens. We give these people money ILLEGALLY from the US government who have no authorization in the Constitution to do so.

      In other word , they are doing it without your permission in order to look good for themselves and receive payback or favors from these foreign countries.

      Then they raise your taxes to help pay for it.

      These other countries are messed up due to corrupt leaders and lazy people. Why should we pay for it? (no pun intended). And when they come here they do the same thing what they did to their countries back home.

      So this is an agenda by very evil people to purposely destroy the WEST by mentally-ill basturds you keep putting in over and over. Like John Mclame and Ded Kennedy who both died (Thankfooly) of brain cancer and ROT in the ground. :twisted:
