ABSTRACTThis commentary reviews Maruyama's article ‘Japan's post-war Ainu policy: why the Japanese Government has not recognised Ainu indigenous rights?’ (Maruyama 2013a), published in this journal. Maruyama criticises the government for its reluctance to enact a new Ainu law to guarantee indigenous rights, even after Japan's ratification of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). However, in actuality, the government is searching for the foundation of new Ainu policies in the existing legal frameworks and trying to guarantee some elements of indigenous rights. Japan's case suggests the possibility of realising indigenous rights without the enactment of a specific law.

The negotiation was originally conceived as a clear bioethical debate that should have led to a general agreement to ban human cloning.

This article looks at the 1990's agenda for Québec to improve the protection for victims of crime. It summarises the progress made by Québec in implementing the United Nations Declaration on Victim Rights. It compares the progress in Québec with other provinces and countries. It examines how police leadership to implement procedures that respect victims of crime could help the police, while improving significantly respect for victims. It discusses how Québec could combine the civil and criminal interests of victims of crime, while reducing court backlogs. It stresses the importance of reducing victimisation by building on the Agenda for Safer Cities developed in Montréal in 1989. It also calls for more comparative research on the extent to which reforms in different jurisdictions are meeting the needs of crime victims.
