Legal Technical Assistance to Asia Japan's Intellectual Assistance to Asian Nations Needs to Include Constructing a Comprehensive System Intellectual Assistance for Nations in Transition |
To assist in constructing a legal framework, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice, provided support through JICA. Nevertheless, the actual business is being conducted by a committee based in Japan. In the case of Vietnam, the committee was headed by Professor Akio Morishima of Sophia University, with various other professionals representing different areas of expertise. The selection of professionals is based upon JICA requests through the officer in charge at the Ministry of Justice, which then makes the selection. It is possible to have public prosecutors and judges as members of a committee. |

The leadership of the committee, determines how a project proceeds. In the
case of Cambodia, several different task forces have been created. We expect that assisting in construction of legal frameworks in Asian nations in the region will become one of the new areas of ODA
technical cooperation. There is a tremendous demand from these Asian nations. |
