To President Trump!
September 2, 2026 [Today's Proposal] Contradictions in International Law Regarding ICC Non-Member Jurisdiction and the Essence of U.S. Sanctions Against ICC Presi-dent Akane
[1] [U.S. Sanctions on ICC President Akane & Limits of ICC Power] The Trump ad-ministration added ICC President Akane and others to the sanctions list. While Presi-dent Akane states she will not flinch, the ICC is a court based on the Rome Statute and has no jurisdiction over non-member states. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[2] [The Principle of Automatic Jurisdiction Separating Member and Non-Member States] The ICC possesses automatic jurisdiction only over member states, and as a general rule, its authority does not extend to non-member states such as the U.S., Russia, China, and Israel. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[3] [The ICC's Broad Interpretation in the Ukraine Case] Based on Article 12(2)(a) of the Rome Statute, the ICC claims it can investigate crimes on member territory even if the suspect is a national of a non-member state. This is the ICC's broad interpreta-tion, applied even more arbitrarily in the Ukraine case. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[4] [Chronology of Putin's Arrest Warrant and Russia's Wanted List] In 2023, ICC's Akane issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Putin, prompting a backlash and subsequent wanted listings of Akane and others by Russia. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[5] [The Anomaly of Retroactive Application Prior to Ukraine's Membership] Both the arrest warrant for President Putin and Russia's wanted listing of Akane occurred be-fore Ukraine joined the ICC, creating a clear chronological contradiction since Ukraine joined later in 2025. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[6] [Prohibition of Retroactive Criminal Application and Constitutional/International Legal Principles] Akane's actions amounted to retroactive application of a crime prior to membership. In Japan, Article 39 of the Constitution prohibits retroactive crimes, and international criminal law similarly enshrines the principle of non-retroactivity in the Rome Statute. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[7] [The Mechanism of the ICC's Claim of "Territorial Jurisdiction + Ukraine Ac-ceptance Declaration"] How can the ICC judge Russian actions prior to membership? The rationale is that Ukraine had previously submitted a special declaration accepting ICC investigations into war crimes committed on its territory. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[8] [Arbitrary Operation Named Jurisdiction Transfer Including Past Periods] In other words, the ICC operates on the logic that rather than creating a crime retroactively, Ukraine granted the ICC jurisdiction spanning past periods. Permitting such methods would allow any past event to be arbitrarily subjected to punishment. (Yasuhiro Na-gano)
[9] [Anything-Goes Justice Pretexting Territorial Jurisdiction and Special Declarations] Akane's actions are defended as application based on an arbitrary territorial jurisdic-tion plus Ukraine's acceptance declaration, but this completely hollows out state sov-ereignty and the international legal order. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[10] [Structural Contradictions Shaking the Foundations of International Criminal Justice] There is a severe contradiction between the principle of non-retroactivity and the expansion of jurisdiction utilizing Ukraine's special declarations, and leaving this unchecked reduces international justice to a political tool. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[11] [The Necessity of Joint Action Appealed to Democrats and the American Public] To Democrats and the American public, let us unite with Mr. Trump to dismantle the ICC and establish the true rule of law against this abnormal state of justice! (Yasuhi-ro Nagano)
[12] [The Struggle to Restore Justice Under Law] We must firmly say NO to a false international justice that distorts the international order through broad interpretations and abuse of power. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[13] [Serious Clash Between International Law and State Sovereignty] While the ICC attempts to judge non-member states using territorial jurisdiction as a shield, non-member states sanction ICC officials for sovereignty violations. This structural clash between international and domestic law is a long-standing issue. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[14] [Why Arbitrary Punishment Must Not Be Tolerated] Easily accepting the ICC's self-serving arguments and tolerating such arbitrary punishment would completely collapse the logic and justice under the law. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
[15] [Reforming International Justice Toward Establishing the True Rule of Law] We must immediately put an end to the broad interpretations and abuse of power that distort the international order, and stand firmly against the tyranny of false interna-tional justice to defend legitimate legal logic.

Part 2: The Immigration Control Act Violation Case [Weekday Edition]
Japan’s judicial system and immigration administration involve severe human rights violations that challenge international standards. Through my own experience, I strongly question Japan's status as a constitutional state governed by the rule of law.
Please first read how I was wrongfully implicated in a case of "Aiding and Abetting the Violation of the Immigration Control Act" in 2010.

[Chapter 1] Case Overview
Autumn 2008: My company (where I serve as President) executed an employment contract with Chinese students holding student visas, promising to hire them upon their university graduation the following spring.
Late 2008: The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy triggered a global financial crisis, resulting in the abrupt cancellation of our upcoming system development projects.
2009: Due to the severe economic downturn, we were forced to rescind the job offers. Consequently, the graduated students had no choice but to continue working at the restaurants where they had been employed part-time during their studies.
May 2010: These former Chinese students were arrested for "Activities Other Than Those Permitted Under the Status of Residence" (Violation of Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act).
June 2010: I and our Chinese recruitment manager were also arrested. The charge brought against us was "Aiding and Abetting" (under the Penal Code) their unauthorized technical employment.
The Prosecution’s Logic: The prosecution asserted that our prior issuance of the employment contract constituted a "false document," which subsequently aided their unauthorized work.
[Chapter 2] Fatal Flaws in Judicial Interpretation
This indictment and subsequent judgment completely disregard fundamental legal principles, relying on an entirely arbitrary interpretation of the law.
Under Article 22-4, Paragraph 1, Item 4 of the Immigration Control Act at that time, submitting false documents merely granted the Minister of Justice the authority to revoke a residency status as an administrative disposition (leading to deportation). The act of submitting false documents itself was not codified as a criminal offense. Logically, one cannot be convicted of "aiding and abetting" an act that is not a crime in itself.
The court’s reasoning followed a convoluted chain of causality:
A residency status was obtained via a false employment contract.
The individuals resided in Japan based on that status.
Consequently, they engaged in unauthorized part-time work.
Therefore, the issuer of the initial contract aided and abetted the unauthorized work.
This is a far-fetched, flawed causal link that completely violates the principles of modern legal logic.
[My Argument]
Confusion of Administrative Dispositions and Criminal Penalties: The Immigration Control Act explicitly designates the consequences for false documentation as administrative measures (revocation of status and deportation). The legal process concludes there.
Absence of a Principal Offender: The actual employers of the restaurants where the students worked were never prosecuted for "Encouraging Illegal Employment" (Article 73-2 of the Immigration Control Act). Under the principle of equality under the law, it is a legal contradiction to punish us for aiding and abetting when the principal employers themselves were not prosecuted.
This same flawed legal doctrine was later improperly applied to diplomats and embassy staff.

Part 3: A New Business Model via Special Economic Zones
I propose the establishment of "Special Economic Zones" designed to accept refugees and migrants as "temporary migrant workers," with their residency restricted to these designated zones.
This framework offers a dual benefit: advanced nations secure low-cost labor to drive economic growth, while migrants receive human dignity, secure jobs, and free access to housing, food, healthcare, and education.
