2016年底,日本政府实施了一项解决布拉库问题的新法律:消除布拉库歧视促进法(APEBD)。这项政策是如何形成的,尽管近15年来没有直接涉及布拉库问题的法律?本文首先考察了引发APEBD实施的基础。接下来,它审议了该法案的关键组成部分,强调了该法律的优点和弱点。随后,文章探讨了各利益攸关方对该法案的基本要素的看法。利益相关者包括Buraku解放盟(BLL,Burakumin最大的社会运动组织)、Buraku Heritage(由年轻人组成的较小组织)和立法者本身。文章认为,尽管这些参与者都认为这项法律是很好的“第一步”,但还有更多的工作要做。本文认为,尽管这部法律是重要的一步,但它符合日本更广泛的法律集合--原则法(Rinenhō),其中术语含糊不清,基础在于行政指导和缺乏惩罚。
In late 2016, the Japanese government implemented a new law addressing buraku issues: the Act for the Promotion of the Elimination of Buraku Discrimination (APEBD). How was it that this policy came to be, despite a nearly fifteen-year absence of laws directly engaging with buraku concerns? This article begins by examining the foundations that sparked the implementation of the APEBD. Next, it considers the Act’s key components, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of the law. Following this, the article explores the perspectives of various stakeholders on the foundational elements of the Act. The stakeholders include the Buraku Liberation League (BLL, the largest social movement group for the burakumin), Buraku Heritage (a smaller organization made up of younger people), and lawmakers themselves. The article argues that while these actors all consider the law a good ‘first step’ there is more to be done. This article argues that although the law is an important step, it fits within a broader collection of Japanese laws known as ‘principle laws’ (rinenhō), whereby terminology is ambiguous, and foundations rest on administrative guidance and a lack of penalties.
