Addendum
Mission to Japan (15 – 26 November 2012)* **
Summary
The Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health visited Japan from 15 to 26 November 2012. During the visit, he ascertained, in a spirit of dialogue and cooperation, the country’s endeavours to implement the right to health, and in particular considered the issues relating to the realization of the right to health in the wake of the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant on 11 March 2011, the events leading up to it, and emergency response, recovery and mitigation. In the present report, the Special Rapporteur commends Japan for the steps taken to monitor the health of the affected population, designate evacuation zones, monitor radiation levels and decontaminate the areas affected, as well as for its commitment to the realization of the right to physical and mental health. In order to realize that right fully, however, the Special Rapporteur encourages the Government to address a number of serious challenges and to consider particular areas for improvements in the nuclear emergency response system; the scope and extent of the basic and detailed health management surveys; the dose limits of radiation; access to accurate information on radiation and its impact on health; the transparency and accountability of the nuclear industry and regulatory authority; and participation of affected communities in decision-making processes. With a view to facilitating that endeavour, the Special Rapporteur makes a number of recommendations for the Government of Japan.
