      Nun, da erwogen wird, den Vertrag des Europarats gegen  
Cybercrime mit zu unterzeichnen, schaut sich die japanische  
Rechtsanwaltskammer das Vertragswerk an.

According to Asahi Shinbun (Japanese one of major news paper)  
on Nov.4th reported that Japan intends to ratify the Cybercrime  
Treaty of CoE. 
 
On the other hand, Japan Bar Association begins to examine about  
the treaty. Some members of the examination group in JBA have  
strong apprehensions about the Treaty. According to well informed  
sources, Ministry of Justice wants not to amend domestic laws  
because of avoiding public opinion against amendment of laws  
although the Cybercrime Treaty is conflict with a lot of domestic  
laws under the interpretation until now. This means that MoJ  
shames to reinterpret related domestic laws in its favor. 
 
Two critical articles of Cybercrime Treaty have been already  
appeared in Japan as follows (sorry, in Japanese) 
 
Yukio Yamasita, "Dangerous Character of Cybercrime Treaty which  
Strengthen Global Electronic Surveillance," in Toshimaru Ogura ed,  
Surveillance Society and Privacy, Impact Shuppankai, Tokyo, 2001.

Enforcement," IMPACTION, no.125, 2001, Impact Shuppankai,
