Implementation of the Japanese Imperial Government Disclosure Act and the Japanese War Crimes Provisions of the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act: An Interim Report to Congress
Federation of American Scientists, Washington D.C., USA
Self-description: "The Interagency Working Group, formed under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act of 1998 and the Japanese Imperial Government Disclosure Act of 2000, issued [in Mar 2002] an interim report to Congress describing the government-wide effort to locate, declassify, and make publicly available U.S. records of Japanese war crimes. The report augments an October 1999 report to Congress-also required by statute-on the government's efforts to identify and declassify Nazi war crimes records. [...] So far, agencies have declassified and are preparing to open 18,000 pages of Japanese war crimes records. An additional 60,000 pages are being reviewed for relevance and possible declassification."
