To President Trump
October 10, 2026 [Today's Proposal]The ongoing interference with U.S. sover-eignty by the ICC and the Japanese government's tacit approval of it are far too lenient. The time has come to firmly challenge the responsibility of the Jap-anese government, which ignores the spirit of the Vienna Convention and re-peats human rights violations and arbitrary judicial judgments to maintain its own power. Now is the time to work together with Mr. President to normalize the U.S.-Japan alliance and stand up to rebuild an international order that nev-er tolerates violations of individual human rights. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
1. [A Blunt Word to President Trump] Too lenient! Regarding the situation where the Japanese government is practically condoning the interference with U.S. sovereignty by the ICC President, Mr. President, as a Japanese citizen, I am deeply concerned about the issue of sovereignty violation by the ICC that the United States is facing. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
2. [The Irresponsible Bystander System of the Japanese Government] Current-ly, even though the ICC President is making decisions that step into U.S. sov-ereignty, the situation is such that they effectively "sent" that President into office. The fact that the Japanese government has not been held accountable in any way is extremely unnatural from the perspective of international law. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
3. [The Basic Principle Demanded by Article 34 of the Vienna Convention] The Japanese government is not upholding the spirit of Article 34 of the Vienna Convention. Article 34 of the Vienna Convention is an important provision sup-porting the fundamental principle of international law that "States must not condone acts that violate the sovereignty of other nations." (Yasuhiro Nagano)
4. [The Deception of the Japanese Government Condoning Violations of Inter-national Law] However, the Japanese government condones the ICC Presi-dent's acts of stepping into U.S. sovereignty and evades responsibility despite being deeply involved in the selection process. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
5. [The Domestic Reality That Has Forgotten Rule of Law] This cannot be said to be the attitude of a nation practicing the "Rule of Law." The Japanese gov-ernment routinely commits human rights violations domestically through illegal dispositions as well. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
6. [The Indignation of Americans Over the Leniency of the Japanese Govern-ment] Why is the Japanese government not held accountable?—Americans are also outraged by that leniency. I understand that Mr. President's imposition of sanctions on ICC officials is a legitimate measure to protect U.S. sovereignty. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
7. [The Absurdity Shaking the Equality of U.S.-Japan Relations] Nevertheless, it must be said that the current situation where the Japanese government, which effectively sent that President into office, is not subject to any sanctions at all is far too lenient. The Japanese government explains that "ICC decisions are made by an independent body," but the fact that it was involved in the se-lection process does not disappear. America is not Japan's servant. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
8. [Clear Points Requested of Mr. President] I hope that Mr. President will clearly point out the following to the Japanese government: "Condoning inter-ference with U.S. sovereignty by the ICC President runs counter to the spirit of Article 34 of the Vienna Convention and cannot be considered the stance of a nation that upholds the rule of law." (Yasuhiro Nagano)
9. [Eliminating Ambiguity Necessary for the Future of the U.S.-Japan Alliance] The actions of the Japanese ICC President should not leave "ambiguity" for the sake of the U.S.-Japan alliance either. The U.S.-Japan alliance is the most criti-cal pillar supporting stability in the Asia-Pacific. Therefore, the Japanese gov-ernment's casual treatment of the principles of international law will bring dis-advantages to both the U.S. and Japan in the long run. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
10. [Arbitrary Domestic Judicial Judgments and the Immigration Control Act Incident] The actions of the Japanese ICC President are deeply connected to the "Immigration Control Act Violation Incident" of 2010. Japanese justice han-dles events inconvenient to the judiciary with authoritarianism, ignoring the Constitution and laws to pass judgment, and arbitrarily turning people into criminals. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
11. [The Unjustness of Administrative Dispositions and the Impossibility of Ap-plying Complicity under Criminal Law] As described in Part 2 of this post, the count in the indictment is based on Article 22-4-04 of the Immigration Control Act (revocation of residence status), which is a discretionary administrative disposition. Therefore, it is impossible to apply the crime of complicity under the Penal Code. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
12. [The Stance Demanding Thorough Enforcement of the Rule of Law] I hope that Mr. President will demonstrate a clear stance toward the Japanese gov-ernment, demanding that it "thoroughly enforce the rule of law." (Yasuhiro Nagano)
13. [Individual Human Rights Violations That Cannot Be Ignored in Interna-tional Society] The Japanese government will likely brush this under the rug once again, but triggered by the ICC incident, the current international situa-tion has entered a period where "violations of individual human rights are easi-ly re-evaluated," so I believe it cannot be ignored. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
14. [My Case as a Concrete Example Demonstrating Structural Contradictions in International Law] Rather, my case has reached a situation where it can be treated as a concrete example showing the "structural contradictions of inter-national law." I believe it is time to move the United Nations. My background is "PIFT" (Peace, Industry, and Fair Trade). (Yasuhiro Nagano)
15. [Rebuilding a Powerful and Peaceful Nation for the Future] Let's make America a strong, smart, and peaceful country again. (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.
