In addition, following a proposal received from the Japan Federation of Bar Associations (JFBA) to
establish a data center for information on the countries of origin of the refugees and to provide better
materials to enable applicants to be able to browse and use them, the Immigration Bureau has been
posting information concerning the countries of origin of the refugees and international affairs (specifically,
Japanese translations of reports of the United Kingdom Home Office and the United States Department
of State) on the Ministry of Justice website since November 2010, and endeavors to collect and prepare
basic materials for information on the countries of origin.
