The refugee crisis is just that, a crisis. Japan believes that these refugees are hiding dangerous people within their groups and caravans. Japan believes that these people need to have extensive background checks and vetting processes imposed upon them in order to enter any foreign nation. These are people coming from a geographical area which allows, accepts, and participates in everyday violence, crime, and murder. Since 2013, Japan has allowed less than 100 of these refugees to cross the border and become citizens. Asylum should only be granted to the best of the best of these people, as high numbers of lower-class refugees and immigrants can cripple both the economies, and cultures of nations that have much too graciously allowed them in. Because of the looming danger of hidden terrorists within groups seeking asylum, Japan has set up very thorough tests for these people that many will be unable to pass. This is because this great nation sets very high standards for our citizens, and our citizens will not be threatened or impacted by these dangers. Japan believes that other nations should adopt similar policies, as nationalism is a very important quality, especially in these times, when leaders and citizens are attacked and persecuted for expressing confidence in their home nations. The different attitudes of nations within these United Nations are definitely an issue that should be discussed within the Human Rights Committee, as the true dilemma of this all-encompassing issue lie in the lack of common sense and nationalistic attitudes of the different world leaders.
