The international community strongly opposes Japan’s launch of nuclear sewage discharge into the sea

  On the 22nd, the Japanese government decided to start the discharge of Fukushima nuclear polluted water into the sea on August 24th, which was strongly criticized and opposed by the international community. People from many countries and the media pointed out that Japan’s actions were extremely irresponsible and harmful, and urged it to immediately withdraw its decision to expel the sea.

  Democratic Party of Korea

  Japan should immediately withdraw this decision and formulate a safe disposal plan.

  On the afternoon of the 22nd, the "National Action to Prevent Japan’s Radioactive Contaminated Water from Discharging into the Sea" and the Common Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in South Korea, held emergency press conferences in front of the Japanese Embassy in South Korea to protest the Japanese government’s decision to start discharging nuclear contaminated water into the sea.

  The statement on "National Action to Prevent Japan’s Radioactive Contaminated Water from Discharging into the Sea" said that the Japanese government still pushed this plan despite the fact that the safety of Fukushima’s nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea could not be confirmed by experts, which would destroy the marine environment, damage the social economy and bring negative effects to South Korea and the whole world, and urged the Japanese government to immediately withdraw its decision to discharge into the sea.

  Yu Yuanzhi, an adviser to the Common Democratic Party’s "Countermeasures Committee for Preventing the Pollution Water from Discharging into the Sea" and a member of Parliament, said at the press conference that the ocean is the common resource of mankind, and water is the source of life. The Japanese government finally set a date for the nuclear polluted water to be discharged into the sea, regardless of the losses of other countries and people, only for its own benefit, which is extremely bad.

  On the same day, the Common Democratic Party also held an emergency meeting of parliamentarians in the South Korean National Assembly and issued a resolution statement entitled "Immediately Stop Terrorist Attacks on Nuclear Contaminated Water around the World", pointing out that "Japan, as a member of the international community, ignored the international laws and standards that should be respected and made a destructive decision, which violated the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the London Convention on Dumping Waste, and forcibly discharged nuclear contaminated water into the sea". "Japan should immediately withdraw this decision and formulate a safe disposal plan for nuclear polluted water from the perspective of common prosperity of mankind."

  Russian experts

  The Japanese government made a wrong decision and violated the human rights of the people in the entire Asia-Pacific region.

  Valery Kistanov, director of the Japan Research Center of the Institute of China and Modern Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that it is extremely irresponsible for Japan to plan to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea.

  Russia’s "Moscow Communist Youth League" reported on the 22nd that the Japanese government "made a wrong decision" and it was an outrageous act to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea, which was a violation of the human rights of people in the entire Asia-Pacific region.

  Philippine media

  The Japanese government should listen to the voices of neighboring countries and withdraw this unilateral decision.

  Li Tianrong, a columnist of Philippine Star, said that the Japanese government’s decision was "disastrous". The Pacific Ocean does not only belong to Japan, but the danger of Japan discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea will last for many years and affect generations. "We must call on the Japanese government to stop this irresponsible, wrong, immoral and dangerous plan."

  Anna Malinberg-Uy, deputy director of the "Asian Century" Strategic Research Institute in the Philippines, believes that Japan’s unilateral decision to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea is a disregard for international environmental protection laws and regulations. "This is a very serious problem, which will affect many countries including the Philippines. The Japanese government should listen to the voices of neighboring countries and withdraw this unilateral decision. "

  In an interview with local media, Kaitan Lal, a member of Fiji Priority Party, condemned the decision of the Japanese government, pointing out that the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea would threaten the livelihood of islanders in the entire Pacific region, including Fiji.

  Matai Serimaya, Vanuatu’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, called on the 22nd Melanesian Pioneer Group Leaders’ Meeting held in Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu, on the 23rd, saying that the Pacific region needs to take strong actions to resist Japan’s actions. "Unless it can be proved beyond dispute that the nuclear polluted water is safe, Japan cannot discharge it into the sea". Serimaya urged Japan to withdraw its decision to discharge nuclear polluted water from Fukushima into the sea and seriously consider other alternatives.

  No one can accurately predict the consequences.

  Since the Japanese government announced the Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge plan in April 2021, the legitimacy, legality, safety and long-term reliability of this plan have always been questioned.

  The IAEA assessment report carefully arranged by the Japanese government failed to dispel the doubts and worries of the international community and Japan. It is unprecedented to discharge nuclear polluted water into the ocean for a long time, at a high flow rate and in a large scale, and no one can accurately "predict" the consequences. And water under the bridge, once it has serious consequences, I’m afraid it will be too late.

  As pointed out in the relevant assessment report of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the main body responsible for the discharge of nuclear polluted water from Fukushima is the Japanese authorities. On the 22nd, when the meeting of Japanese Cabinet members decided on the date of sea discharge, Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio claimed that the Japanese government would take responsibility for sea discharge in the next few decades. The Japanese government may want to show a responsible attitude towards its fishermen, but the impact of this behavior of the Japanese government far exceeds the scope of its sovereign exercise.

  Previous bad records have proved that the credibility of the Japanese government’s "responsible" commitment and Tokyo Electric Power Company’s "safety" guarantee is not high. The Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011 can be partly attributed to the "safety myth" created by the Japanese government and TEPCO for a long time.

  A typical example of Japanese government and TEPCO’s "untrustworthiness" is that in 2015, they explicitly promised to the Japanese fishing industry that they would not dispose of nuclear polluted water at will without the approval of stakeholders. However, on the 21st of this month, the representative of Japanese fishery reiterated his opposition to the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea. On the same day, TEPCO announced the numerical target of discharging 31,200 tons of "treated water" in 2023.
