Stop exported surveillance tech from being used in human rights abuses: Yomiuri Shimbun

Japan, the United States and Europe must prevent their technologies from proliferating and being misused for human rights abuses. The United States has announced an initiative to create an international frameworkThis multilateral export control system, which is aimed at preventing human rights violations, will be the first of its kind. Britain, France, the Netherlands and Canada have also expressed support for the initiative.

China is said to take advantage of surveillance technologies to suppress Uighur minorities in the Xinjiang Uigur Autonomous Region. The US government has slapped human rights-related sanctions on entities including a Hong Kong-based Chinese company that has been accused by Washington of providing the Chinese government with technology to identify Uighurs. An investment ban has been put on the company.

At present, Japan has not expressed the intention to participate in the framework or support it. The lack of domestic legal arrangements is believed to be one reason for this.
