Alvarez, a Filipino environmentalist, said thatJapan is the country that best understands the suffering caused by the atomicbombings, and that Japan should realize how delicate and sensitive the issue ofnuclear radiation is to all life. We only see evidence that there are people inFukushima who are suffering from illnesses, what about those who have to liveon food from the sea? Their health is at risk, and it could even belife-threatening. Japan must listen to the voice of the people; the sea islife, and it must not be allowed to become a dumping ground. Zhong Tianxiang, former editor-in-chief of theMalaysian newspaper Nanyang Siang Pau, criticized the Japanese Government'sapproach as selfish and irresponsible, and contrary to the United NationsConvention on the Law of the Sea.
