The UTokyo International Law Training and Research Hub has partnered with Human Rights Watch on a joint symposium to discuss the global Magnitsky movement and its development in Japan.
The symposium is headlined by leading figures behind the creation and implementation of Magnitsky-style laws in the US, UK, and Canada, respectively. Bill Browder, Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, Lady Helena Kennedy QC, Director of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute, and Professor Irwin Cotler, President of the Raoul Wallenberg Center for Human Rights, delivered keynote speeches.
The joint symposium is a substantial step for the development of a Japanese version of the Magnitsky law. By combining renowned international expertise and a comprehensive understanding of the Japanese political context, it aims to demystify the ideas behind the Magnitsky movement, its current situation, and its future implications for human rights law.
The joint symposium consists of two parts: the first covers the international background of the movement–the keynote speakers will share their experiences on how they enacted Magnitsky laws, detailing which kinds of discussions and objections took place in the legislative process, prominent characteristics of their country’s Magnitsky law, the involvement of civil society groups, the “fit” of Magnitsky laws in their country’s existing sanctions regimes, who the primary intended targets of Magnitsky sanctions were, the efficacy of Magnitsky sanctions, and so forth.
Professor Ai Kihara-Hunt, director of the UTokyo Law Hub, will then moderate a panel discussion about the newest Magnitsky law movements in various states, such as in Australia and Switzerland. The panelists will analyze their respective laws through a comparative lens, observing differences and similarities between Magnitsky acts.
– Simon Henderson, Head of Policy at Save the Children Australia,
– Fabian Molina, Swiss National Council member (video message)
– Paul Namkoong, Editor at UTokyo Law Hub
The second part, conducted in Japanese, delves into the possible Japanese implementation of the Magnitsky movement by applying insights gained from the aforementioned speakers. Jun Hori, journalist at 8bitNews, will moderate the conversation between lawmakers and legal experts.
– MP Gen Nakatani, Liberal Democratic Party
– MP Shiori Yamao, Constitutional Democratic Party
– Akira Igata, Advisor for IPAC
