これに対する岡島敦子 男女共同参画局長の返答
35. Ms. Okajima (Japan) said that the ruling coalition party had organized a group to consider the issue of regulating video games containing images of sexual violence against women and children. Policy proposals had recently been compiled and a law banning child pornography was undergoing revision. A resolution with regard to child pornography and virtual images in the National Diet of Japan had unfortunately been abandoned due to the recent dissolution of the Diet. In the outcome document of the Third World Conference Against Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents, for which Japan was a permanent consultant, virtual images had been mentioned as one medium for child pornography. It was hoped that on that basis the Government of Japan would continue to work on the issue of virtual images of child pornography.
