A so called holiday has resulted in my trust being betrayed. I lived in Japan for over ten years and am fully aware of the racism and biased against foreigners. While there, the abduction of Japanese nationals by North Korea gained mass media attention. What hypocrisy. While Japan strives to be an active member on the world stage, it still continues to sign treaties that only benefits itself. When will Japan come out of the 19th century? Shame, shame, shame!

Japan has taken a very firm stance against n. korea because of megumi yokota and others abducted from japan. waves of publicity regarding these abdtions and a national outcry for the abductees to be returned to japan are sweeeping the entire country . this is completely hipocritical to the stance of refusal to sign the Hague and return children abducted to japan from other countries . shinzo abe must reform laws on these issues !

Though the Family Court system has served us very well with the adoption of our son in Japan, having the adoption recognised overseas has become really complicated by Japan not being a signatory to this convention.
