On the eve of the Treaty's anniversary, Japan is ready to look forward to a new era, claiming it has fulfilled its obligations according to the San Francisco Peace Treaty and other bilateral treaties and international agreements and therefore has resolved all war-related issues.

Therefore, on the eve of the commemoration of its 50th anniversary, we need to ask not only whether the San Francisco Peace Treaty is a just Treaty, but also whether it has stood in the way of peace and genuine reconciliation between the perpetrator and the victim nations and individuals.

The contemptuous reply you have given to the victims' case ~ "that it was all settled by the San Francisco Treaty" ~ seemingly reinforced by your spokesman in Parliament last month, has shown your attitude to Japanese atrocities to be as ill-briefed, as uncaring and as racist as that of your predecessors.

The San Francisco Peace Treaty failed to define the “Kurile Islands,” and further to specify the entity in whose favor Japan had renounced sovereignty over the disputed islands.
