March 15, 2001

Dear Mr. Ebisawa

We, the undersigned university professors and scholars, hereby express our urgent concerns regarding the program you aired on January 30, 2001, entitled "Wartime Sexual Violence" ("Senji sei boryoku"), which was the second segment in the ETV 2001 series, Senso o do sabaku ka (How Should We Adjudicate Wars?).

We are deeply disturbed by recent reports that NHK revised and heavily censored the program that was originally to cover the Women's International War Crimes Tribunal on Japan's Military Sexual Slavery (December 2000). These reports inform us that changes to the program's content resulted in negative and distorted representations of the Tribunal, as well as the history of the Japanese military's "comfort station" system.

According to our colleague Lisa Yoneyama (University of California, San Diego), who participated in your program as one of two principal commentators, she made a number of remarks during studio recording last December that positively assessed the historical and philosophical significance of the "Women's International War Crimes Tribunal." However, Yoneyama's statements were almost entirely eliminated from the program that aired on January 30 and the actual amount of coverage given to the Tribunal was radically reduced.

Moreover, reliable sources report that there had been a number of right wing and conservative threats against NHK prior to the program's airing. It is also suspected that several members of the Liberal Democratic Party influenced NHK in its decision to censor the program. This is despite the fact that by law the government is not allowed to interfere in NHK programming.

To be sure, Japan is not the only country in which violent attempts have been made to suppress and silence unflattering parts of national pasts. We are also fully aware that some individuals in NHK have had the vision and conscience to reject narrow-minded views of Japanese history.

However, as scholars and critics who specialize in issues concerning Japan, Asia, U.S. relations with Asia, and in studies of gender, race, and colonialism, we find it truly regrettable that NHK failed to inform the general Japanese public about the significance of the Tribunal. This Tribunal was the first legal proceeding to adjudicate on the Japanese military's enslavement of women as a "crime against humanity." The Women's Tribunal does not represent any particular national interest. Nor does it endorse any particular political ideology. Rather, it adheres to the legal and ethical standards that are rapidly coming to be shared by the international community for judging wartime crimes of sexual violence and enslavement. We believe that as a public broadcasting corporation, NHK is obligated to report on this international event in a full and accurate manner.

We demand that NHK remedy the damages caused by the revisions and the heavy censorship it imposed upon the program that aired on January 30 by agreeing to do the following.

(1) To explain in detail the incidents and the decision-making processes which led to each of the revisions to the original plans for the program.

(2) To acknowledge NHK's responsibility for the damages it caused through its failure to accurately report on the Tribunal.

(3) To broadcast a program that will report on the Women's International War Crimes Tribunal in a full, accurate and positive manner.

Thank you for your attention to this letter. Please send your written response to Takashi Fujitani who represents the undersigned signatories by fax (�c), or mail (�c) by April 1, 2001. Please also note that we intend to make this letter and your response open to the public.

Sincerely,
