Foreigners and Human Rights
Approximately 23,000,000 people entered Japan from overseas during 2016, and the number of foreign
residents was approximately 2,380,000 at the end of the year. Both numbers marked record highs. In 2020,
when Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games will take place, Japanese nationals will interact with foreign
visitors more frequently. However, Japan is currently facing various human-rights issues involving foreigners,
such as discrimination and bullying due to differences in languages, cultures, religions and customs. We have toreach a deeper understanding of different cultures and shape society in a way that respects all human rights,including foreign visitors. It is important to realize a society where no one will be left behind ̶the ideal of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in September 2015. In this context, thesymposium invites experts working to support people from other countries and multicultural co-existence topromote discussion about what is required for a mutual understanding of the differences between Japaneseand non-Japanese.
