More damning evidence of the fall of the UN.
Japan is holding back more than £34m in Unesco funding following a protest against the listing of documents related to the Nanjing massacre.
The foreign minister, Fumio Kishida, confirmed Japan had suspended this year’s contribution, totalling 4.4bn yen (£34.4m), but denied any direct link to an incident that still hangs over frosty diplomatic relations between Tokyo and Beijing.
Japan – one of Unesco’s biggest funders – warned last year that it might pull the funding after the UN cultural and scientific body agreed to Beijing’s request to register disputed Chinese documents recording the mass murder and rape committed by Japanese troops after the fall of the Chinese city of Nanjing 1937.
The documents were inscribed in the UN body’s Memory of the World list.
