Report of the Special Rapporteur of the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, Anand Grover Addendum Mission to Japan: comments by the State on the report of the Special Rapporteur

Comments of Japan on the report of the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health (15- 26 November 2012), A/HRC/23/41/Add.3.
Introduction
The Government of Japan offered its utmost cooperation to Anand Grover, the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, on his mission to Japan last November with the involvement of
a number of ministries, based on his request and in light of the recommendations of the second UPR (Universal Periodic Review) cycle.
The Government recognizes that the health management of the residents affected by the situation involving Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station is of considerable importance. Therefore, it has been working on health management taking into account the latest findings of medical experts beyond examining the possibility of influence on heath in a limited way.  We, the Government of Japan, have been taking various measures to improve situations which were mentioned in Mr. Grover’s report. The main points of improvement are
described in the following document.  While Mr. Grover’s report reflects his personal and independent perspective, we have made
some comments on his draft report in advance concerning a misunderstanding of the facts from scientific and juridical viewpoint in response to his request. It seems that his report which was finally submitted to the Human Rights Council does not reflect our comments
sufficiently; therefore, we attach those comments to this document.
