\"\"<\/a>25 Dec 2016 – <\/em>The press release and open letter to the Japanese Prime Minister concern the complex issues surrounding the ethos and politics of apology. I would have liked the statement to include an acknowledgement of accountability by the U.S. Government. President Barack Obama, several months ago, took a step in that direction by his visit to Hiroshima, the first sitting American president to do so, but he deliberately avoided language that could be construed as an apology, representing the event as \u2018a tragedy\u2019 of warfare, which it was of course, but it was also a flagrant violation of the laws of war due to the indiscriminate nature of the weaponry and an act of war that defied the prohibition of customary international law on violence that cannot be justified by \u2018military necessity.\u00a0Yet the open letter as it reads is primarily an initiative emanating from Japan, in worried reaction to the moves of Prime Minister Abe to disvalue, and if politically possible, abandon the constitutional provisions adopted after World War II to ensure that Japan would not again victimize itself and its neighbors by a revival of militarism in the future. That assurance is now in jeopardy. I am proud to be among the signatories. The full list follows the Japanese original version of the open letter, issued on Christmas Day. The letter is preceded by a press release also released today.<\/p>\n

An Open Letter to Prime Minister Abe Calls for Clarification of His Understanding of the Asia-Pacific War<\/strong><\/p>\n

Washington, DC\/Tokyo, Japan (December 25, 2016) \u2013 53 international scholars, artists, and activists sent an Open Letter to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the eve of his upcoming visit to Pearl Harbor. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The signers include Oliver Stone, an Academy Award-winning filmmaker, his co-author of \u201cThe Untold History of the United States\u201d Peter Kuznick of American University, Richard Falk of Princeton University, Tetsuya Takahashi of the University of Tokyo, Lim Jie-Hyun of Sogang University (Korea), Shue Tuck Wong of Simon Fraser University (Canada), and Gavan McCormack of Australian National University.<\/p>\n

Assessing the Prime Minister\u2019s statements about the war, the signers ask whether he still doubts that Japan\u2019s Asia-Pacific War was a war of aggression. They ask whether he has plans to visit China, Korea, other Asia-Pacific nations and other Allied nations to \u201cmourn\u201d the major victims of Japan\u2019s war.<\/p>\n

As Peter Kuznick comments, \u201cUnlike Germany, Japan has never made a sincere effort to deal with or atone for its wartime atrocities that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people. Prime Minister Abe has been in the forefront of efforts to whitewash Japanese history. We hope he will take this opportunity to once and for all correct that shameful record.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Mark Selden of Cornell University observes, \u201cThe time has come to lay to rest the denial of wartime responsibility and war atrocities by Japan and other nations to reduce frictions in an Asia-Pacific region that is experiencing rising conflicts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliver Stone and internatonal scholars and activists send an Open Letter to Prime Minister Abe on the eve of his Pearl Harbor visit<\/strong><\/p>\n

53 international scholars, artists, and activists sent an Open Letter to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the eve of his upcoming visit to Pearl Harbor. See below English and Japanese versions, followed by the list of signers.<\/p>\n

An Open Letter to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe\u00a0On the Occasion of Your Visit to Pearl Harbor\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

December 25, 2016<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Abe,<\/p>\n

You recently announced plans to visit Pearl Harbor in Hawai\u2019i at the end of December 2016 to \u201cmourn the victims\u201d of the Japanese Navy\u2019s attack on the U.S. naval base on December 8, 1941 (Tokyo Time).<\/p>\n

In fact, Pearl Harbor was not the only place Japan attacked that day. The Japanese Army had attacked the northeastern shore of the Malay Peninsula one hour earlier and would go on to attack several other British and U.S. colonies and bases in the Asia-Pacific region later that day. Japan launched these attacks in order to secure the oil and other resources of Southeast Asia essential to extend its war of aggression against China.<\/p>\n

Since this will be your first official visit to the place where Japan\u2019s war against the United States began, we would like to raise the following questions concerning your previous statements about the war.<\/p>\n

1) You were Deputy Executive Director of the \u201cDiet Members\u2019 League for the 50th Anniversary of the End of War,\u201d which was established at the end of 1994 in order to counter parliamentary efforts to pass a resolution to critically reflect upon Japan\u2019s aggressive war. Its Founding Statement asserts that Japan\u2019s more than two million war-dead gave their lives for \u201cJapan\u2019s self-existence and self-defense, and peace of Asia.\u201d The League\u2019s Campaign Policy statement of April 13, 1995 rejected offering any apology or issuing the no-war pledge included in the parliamentary resolution to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of war. The League\u2019s public statement of June 8, 1995 declared that the majority parties\u2019 resolution draft was unacceptable because it admitted Japan\u2019s \u201cbehaviors of aggression\u201d and \u201ccolonial rule.\u201d Mr. Abe, do you still hold such views about the war?<\/p>\n

2) In the Diet questioning period of April 23, 2013, you as Prime Minister stated that \u201cthe definition of what constitutes \u2018aggression\u2019 has yet to be established in academia or in the international community.\u201d Does that mean that you do not recognize Japan\u2019s war against the Allied and Asia-Pacific nations and the preceding war against China as wars of aggression?<\/p>\n

3) You state that you are going to visit Pearl Harbor to \u201cmourn\u201d the 2,400 Americans who perished in the attack. If that is the case, will you also be visiting China, Korea, other Asia-Pacific nations, or the other Allied nations for the purpose of \u201cmourning\u201d war victims in those countries who number in the tens of millions?<\/p>\n

As Prime Minister, you have pressed for Constitutional revision including reinterpretation and revision of Article 9 to allow Japanese Self-Defense Forces to fight anywhere in the world. We ask that you reflect on the signal this sends to nations that suffered at Japan\u2019s hands in the Asia-Pacific War.<\/p>\n
