Although President Lula’s government has reestablished national councils, the LGBTQIA+ community continues facing prejudice, leaving Brazil as the world’s deadliest country for transgender individuals. Additionally, legislative pushback through the Marco Temporal (Law 14.701/2023) and government delays in land regularization have enabled armed groups and agribusiness interests to expand resource extraction and agriculture, leading to administrative freezes on 857 Indigenous lands, illegal territorial seizures, as well as rising fatal attacks against Indigenous peoples and land defenders.

    Japan Country Overview Targeted Groups Perpetrators Alert Status Genocide Stage(s) Asia-Pacific Nationals Kurdish Minority Foreigners Japanese Government Japanese Officials Japanese Lobby Groups Watch Stage 3: Discrimination, Stage 10: Denial Details Japan has long practiced historical revisionism regarding their Empire-era atrocities. From the late 1800s to 1945, the Japanese Empire committed numerous war crimes against multiple peoples across the Asia-Pacific region. Some still deny the atrocities committed by the Japanese Empire. Nationalistic views have grown more prominent despite low favorability and a strong tradition of pacifism .
