The present mission of RCJE is to assist the High Contracting Parties of Geneva Conventions of 1949 to resettle the Japan Empire nationals – persons who are protected by the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 to the country – the Japan Empire where they are living before the military occupation. And, before the “resettlement” taking place, they shall be benefited by the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, listing as follows:

 

The Occupying Power - United States and its assigning army USAF-CRAG (the Republic of China which was re-established by Chiang Kai-shek in the occupied territories, or so called Chinese Taipei) in the occupied Japan Empire territories Formosa and Pescadores, shall immediately observe provisions of 1949 Geneva Conventions:

  1. Offer free medical, food, water, electricity, supplies for protected persons of Japan Empire nationality to live and shall offer objects necessary for religious worship;
    (Article 55 of the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, and Article 69 of Protocol I additional to the Geneva Conventions, Basic needs in occupied territories)
  2. Prohibit pillaging property of protected persons especially who are of Japan Empire nationality, and;
    Prohibit exacting civil tax and fee from the occupied civilians;
    (Article 33 of the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention)
  3. Prohibit trying and passing sentences on protected persons by a unit which is not a regularly constituted court recognized by civilized peoples or by International Law;
    (Article 3 common to the four Geneva Conventions, and Article 147 of the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention)
  4. Prohibit punishing occupied civilians or punishing occupied civilians for charging money, by USAF-CRAG’s inside procedures.
    (Article 33 of the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, and Article 147 of the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention)

 

  1. The victims need help.
    Under the United States’ aggression against Japan Empire, The United States has committed Genocide up to the present time.

The people of Japan Empire nationality (nationality of Meiji Constitution) is “the group” of a national, as defined in Article 6 of Rome Statute of International Criminal Court.

The United States and its USAF-CRAG (Chinese Taipei) do the following acts to the group (people of Japan Empire nationality).

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group (another group: Chinese Taipei or Taiwanese).

The people’s nationality cannot be deprived.

The inhabitants of Formosa and Pescadores have been of Japan Empire Nationality, since 1897, 2 years later after the Shimonoseki Treaty of 1895 coming into force. But, where are the people of Japan Empire Nationality, in International Society, nowadays?

The people of Japan Empire Nationality are forced to disappear after 3 May 1947 under US military occupation.

They shall are under the protection of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, no later than 22 May 2013, the day RCJE constituted and declared to understand, accept, and respect Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols. They are protected persons of the Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (Geneva, 12 August 1949).

In the occupied territories Formosa and Pescadores, the people of Japan Empire Nationality (who has the protected person ID of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, the ID is issued by RCJE in compliance with "Instrument of identification Card Issuance for Civilians in the Areas of Occupied Japan Empire", dated 16 September 2013 and 7 October 2013, and its related amendments, which has published in RCJE's website and respectfully submitted to His Majesty the Emperor, Protecting Powers and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. And in 2014, the JPE Government has authorized RCJE to continue to issue the nationality ID) get discriminate on the basis of nationality.

They (the protected persons) are rejected with an adverse distinction based on nationality by USAF-CRAG (Chinese Taipei) occupying civil administrations, customs, Household Registration Offices, Motor Vehicles Offices, schools, mass media, crowds who are educated in the continuation of war. This situation needs the High Contracting Parties of Geneva Conventions of 1949, Protecting Powers, ICRC and IFRC to assist the protected persons to have benefit and to be respected and protected by the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949. 

Fee paid for education of children to vocational high school in the occupied territories Formosa and Pescadores is more than 30 thousand NTD.(However, the children’s education fee of high class officials and of military officials of USAF-CRAG is zero, and they can go to the school they want by special arrangement.)

And, fee paid for protected persons him/her-self living, such as: gas, water, electricity, house rent, register to meet medical doctor, medical care, foods, communications, traffics, objects necessary for religious worship, these fee above shall be paid by Occupying Power - US and its USAF-CRAG (Chinese Taipei) as provided by Article 55 of Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949. But US and its USAF-CRAG (Chinese Taipei) force the protected persons to pay these fees.

The protected persons of Japan Empire Nationality need helps to survive.

The US and its USAF-CRAG (Chinese Taipei) continues to occupy all civil resources, all civil courts, and all civil democratic bodies in Formosa and Pescadores.

The protected persons are struggling to survive and hard to survive. Red Cross of Japan Empire needs ICRC, IFRC to give hands to apply for UN emergency relief or ICC victims' reparation.
