Justice

Today, I would like to emphasize three points that Japan considers especially important.

First, we have to recognize that there are definite limitations to the method of dealing with issues of sexual violence at the national level only, as has been the case in the past. The importance of cross-border cooperation should be fully emphasized, as in resolution 2331 (2016), on human trafficking. International judicial cooperation should be promoted to effectively hold perpetrators accountable, and financial flows to terrorists must be cut off to thwart their objectives. Now is the time to step up our efforts to discuss and develop a new international framework of cooperation.
