ビジネスと人権の観点から今後問われなければならないのは、今まで見て見ぬふりをしてきたとされるメディア、芸能界とスポンサー企業の責任です。手の平を返したようにジャニーズ事務所を責めるのは誠に無責任。自覚を持って今後行動して頂きたいものです。

ジャニーズ事務所の２回目の会見、最後の記者が言われた事は的確だと思います。支配力が非常に強く、従うしか無いと被害者が感じた場合、単に性加害では無く国際人権法上最も重大な「奴隷」に当てはまる可能性が高くなります。これを踏まえて個人個人に適切な補償が施される事を期待します。

某有名人から最近出されたジャニーズ事務所の性加害疑惑関する発言に、深い懸念を表明します。未成年で被害を受けたとされる方々に即時法的措置などを求めるのは、非現実的で人権を著しく侵害する発言と解釈されても仕方ありません。公平な事実調査後、適切な処置が講じられる事を期待します。

ジャニーズ事務所内で過去に起きたとされる性加害報道に対し、国連人権理事会の現代的形態の奴隷制に関する(性的搾取も含む)特別報告者として深い懸念を表明すると共に、第三者委員会の徹底した調査と、事実認定後速やかに被害者の救済と人権保護の措置を講じる事を、同事務所に勧告します。

ジャニーズ事務所の性加害疑惑に関するビジネスと人権の作業部会の所見を支持します。外部チームの透明性/正当性や心のケア対策に懸念を表明されました。透明性のある事実調査、そして認定さたら人権救済措置を講じる事の必要性を強調したのも全く同感です。

先日の日本政府の会見について。勿論作業部会の見解に法的拘束力はありませんし、まずはジャニーズ事務所がきちんと対処すべきです。ただ児童虐待関連法の見直し/強化や独立した人権保護機関の設立など、国として出来る事はあると思います。今後の取り組みに期待します。

厚労省の過労死等防止対策白書で浮き彫りになった芸能界内での現代的形態の奴隷制。セクハラや性的搾取の他に強制労働に近い環境で働いている方々がいる事に懸念を表明します。ただこの実態は芸能界に限られません。ビジネスと人権の認識を各業界、企業で高める事が急務です。

Designating modern slavery as an illegal migration issue is misleading as British nationals are also victimised. This also stigmatises foreign victims who have suffered gross violations of human rights. Protection of all victims must be a priority.
