💨 Abstract

Japan has protested to a UN human rights watchdog over its call to review a domestic law limiting imperial succession to male heirs. The government considers the imperial succession system crucial for Japan's foundation and had earlier deemed it inappropriate for the UN panel to take up the issue. The UN panel, in its report, stated that the succession rule is contrary to the objective of eliminating discrimination against women.
