Source 14 : Email from MOWCAP acting SG transmitting Japan's final position

Subject: Re: Request from MOWCAP Concerning Naebang-gasa Item


Dear President of KSI,

We have received the following message from the Japanese National Commission for UNESCO:


Dear ........ ,

Thank you for your message and sharing with us a response from the nominator.

In our view, certain words used in the document No. 148 of Naebang-gasa go against the principle of the Memory of the World as harmful language, as you exactly pointed out in the previous message, with reference to Section K of the MOWCAP Register Process guidelines. It is regrettable for us that the nominator's response does not consider the principle of the MOWCAP Register in the same way and sticks to its own position.

We would have to consult internally based on the response from the nominator, but under the current situation, and also given the time left before the General Meeting to be held this week, it is likely that the government of Japan unfortunately but inevitably will need to maintain its contestation on Naebang-gasa until we reach to the solution with the nominator with a helpful facilitation by the Secretariat.

The government of Japan wishes to continue working with your Secretariat and ready to work closely with you on the way forward.


Best regards,

Secretariat of Japanese National Commission for UNESCO


Yours sincerely,

Acting SG

MOWCAP

Source 5 : Email from KNMC to MOW Secretariat to respond Japan's contestation

From: MOW National Committee, Republic of Korea, August 12, 2022 To: MOW Secretariat Subject: Letter in response to the e-mail in August 2 Attached: 1 (105.2KB) Letter from the Chair of National Committee of MoW, ROK.pdf, 105.2KB Dear Sir/Madam, This is a reply to your email dated August 2, received with an attached letter from the Japanese Permanent Delegation to UNESCO, in which you advised us to initiate a bilateral dialogue with a view to resolving the issues at hand. Please allow us to send this reply to your office, not directly to the Japanese delegation to whom we hope the attached letter will be transmitted, for the following reasons. We find that the Japanese claim for maintaining the contestation is not sustainable, for it lacks ‘the reasons advanced’ for contesting on other grounds as stipulated in Paragraph 8.6.5.2.1. It is unimaginable that the General Guidelines allow a Member State to examine the documentary heritage nominated by another Member State without any identif...

Source 13 : Message from MOWCAP acting SG to the nominator of #02

From : MOWCAP Acting Secretary-General, November 17, 2022  To: President of Korean Studies Institute Dear President of KSI, We wish to bring to your attention the following request from MOWCAP RSC regarding certain words in Naebang-gasa, No. 148 that may be considered to violate MOWCAP Register Process guidelines, Section K. FORMALITIES FOR SUBMITTING NOMINATIONS "11. Objectivity. Every nomination stands on its own merits. Nominations should be based on fact, and written in impartial and objective language. The use of grandiose or unprovable claims, or derogatory, propagandistic or polemical language, is counter-productive and makes assessment more difficult. Any nomination form that uses inappropriate language, denigrating or insulting individuals, groups or nations will be returned to the nominator/s by the MOWCAP Secretary-General on the advice of the RSC for amendment. Nominators should be careful to word their nominations in a neutral and objective manner." In order to ...
