To President Trump
September 12, 2026 [Proposal of the Day] It lacks an understanding of the rule of law when some of Japan's conservative critics ignore the principles of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties under international law to criticize US sanctions against ICC President Akane. The Trump administration should demand strict the rule of law from the Japanese government regarding the unjust treatment of former Nis-san Representative Director Greg Kelly and win his acquittal. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
1.【Flawed US Criticisms by Japan's Conservative Commentators】Conservative heavyweights such as Terumasa Nakanishi have condemned Prime Minister Takaichi for failing to protect ICC President Tomoko Akane, but such defenses ignoring legal order are utterly shameful. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
2.【Secretary of State Rubio's Statement on National Sovereignty】Secretary of State Rubio clearly stated that attacks on national sovereignty will not be tolerated, and Prime Minister Takaichi has also been busy explaining her outreach efforts to the US. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
3.【International Law Interpretations That Japanese People Struggle With】The es-sence of this issue is the interpretation of international law, and Japanese people should calmly understand the fact that the US imposed sanctions on President Akane based on the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
4.【The Superiority of the Vienna Convention in International Law Order】The Vienna Convention is the general rulebook governing how treaties between states are con-cluded and their effects, and it is a provision that should be given top priority in the legal order of the international community. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
5.【Role as a Standard Guaranteeing Governance Under the Law】The Vienna Con-vention serves as the benchmark when nations conclude new treaties, and disregard-ing it would completely collapse governance under the law within the international community. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
6.【The Universal Principle of Article 34 Valued by the US】Based on Article 34 (im-posing no obligations on third states without consent), the US consistently asserts that international organizations are not permitted to infringe upon the sovereign rights of non-member states. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
7.【The Interpretation of the Rome Statute Claimed by the ICC Side】Conversely, ICC supporters deploy a unique interpretive argument that the Rome Statute is exer-cised within the scope of member states' jurisdiction and does not constitute a treaty violation. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
8.【The Conflict and Structural Opposition of Different Legal Norms】Both are differ-ent legal dimensions—"general treaty rules" and "the mechanisms of individual inter-national institutions"—and it is clear that the Trump administration did not bend the law. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
9.【The Folly of University Professors Ignoring the Vienna Convention】The stance of university professors shouting in defense of President Akane while ignoring the Vien-na Convention, a fundamental principle of international law, must be called a shame-ful display lacking intellectual integrity. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
10.【The Fatal Deficiency in Legal Understanding Common Among Japanese Citizens】Just as my 2010 Immigration Control Act case involved indictments ignoring the Con-stitution, the Japanese people harbor a defect in failing to understand proper govern-ance and acts under the law. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
11.【Lessons from the Rescue of Americans Involved in the Nissan Case】By snatch-ing back the American father and son who aided Carlos Ghosn's escape from Japan and setting them free, the Biden administration maintained legal logic and protected America's honor and citizens. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
12.【The Tragedy of Former Representative Director Greg Kelly Awaiting Supreme Court Appeal】Former Representative Director Kelly suffers from unjust detention and trials while appealing to the Supreme Court, serving as a breeding ground allowing the Japanese government to do as it pleases. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
13.【Legal Demands the Trump Administration Should Make Upon Japan】President Trump should not abandon Mr. Kelly, but strongly demand true "governance under the law" from the Japanese government and immediately secure his acquittal. (Ya-suhiro Nagano)
14.【The Shift from Pro-US to Pro-Europe and the Wandering of Conservatism】Amidst rapid changes in the definition of Japanese conservatism and the shaking of the pro-Euro-American axis, rather than getting intoxicated by Armageddon, a major diplomatic pivot returning to the origins of the rule of law is necessary. (Yasuhiro Na-gano)
15.【Establishing International Law Order Aimed at by True Conservatives】Discarding emotional arguments and favoritism, rebuilding a sound world order based on strict international law and the rule of law is precisely what is most demanded of Japanese conservatives now. (Yasuhiro Nagano)

Part 2: The Immigration Control Act Violation Case [Saturday Edition]
For the case overview (Chapters 1 and 2), please refer to the Weekday Edition.
Throughout this unjust trial, I consistently maintained my innocence based on rigorous legal logic. However, the police and prosecution ignored my arguments, attempting to coerce a confession based on arbitrary generalizations.

[Chapter 3] Appeals to the International Community and Legal Contradictions
Article 31 of the Constitution of Japan guarantees due process, stating that no person shall be deprived of life or liberty except according to procedure established by law (the principle of legality). Yet, the prosecution in this case forcefully misapplied administrative provisions to fit the Penal Code’s definition of aiding and abetting. This demonstrates a severe lack of legal competence and constitutes an abuse of official authority.
Following our case in 2010 and a nearly identical incident involving Philippine Embassy staff in 2013, international criticism intensified against Japan's arbitrary enforcement of the law.
Consequently, the Japanese government amended the Immigration Control Act in December 2016 (effective January 2017) to explicitly criminalize the act of "providing false employment contracts."
This statutory amendment is irrefutable proof that no such crime existed under the previous law when we were charged, meaning we were entirely innocent. Article 39 of the Constitution strictly prohibits retroactive punishment (ex post facto laws). Despite this clear legal reality, the government has offered no apology, restoration of honor, or compensation.
[Chapter 4] Supporting Legal Documents
The official indictment and the validity of my legal arguments are publicly accessible through the following documents (available in Japanese and English):

[Chapter 5] Petitions to International Organizations
Following my release, I sought redress from foreign embassies in Japan, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
An ambassador from an African nation advised me that while diplomatic ties prevented an official state protest, they could engage networks within the ICC. I believe this international pressure ultimately forced the 2016 statutory amendment.
The number of foreign nationals—including Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and American citizens—who fall victim to such arbitrary legal interpretations in Japan is estimated to be in the tens or hundreds of thousands. This is an alarming crisis that the international community cannot ignore.
