Especially her comment with respect to ''enjo kōsai'' finally caused a diplomatic problem since the figure of ''thirty percent'' was clearly overestimated.

Concerned about gravity of the mistakes in the allegation by the Special Rapporteur since they were against facts Yamada advised MOFA to express Japanese government's complaints officially and requested the Special Rapporteur to withdraw her statements and apologize at the same time.<ref>山田『「表現の自由」の守り方』p. 130.</ref>


De Boer-Buquicchio's comment about ''enjo kōsai'' finally caused a diplomatic problem since the figure of ''thirty percent'' was clearly overestimated.
On 2 November, 2015, MOFA issued a complaint against the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights(OHCHR) over De Boer-Buquicchio's comment on 26 Oct., and requested her to disclose objective data to have alleged thirty percent.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Demarche to the Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography|url=https://www.mofa.go.jp/press/release/press4e_000912.html|accessdate=2019-02-19}}</ref>


She gave a poor explanation—according to her De Boer-Buquicchio herself said ''thirteen'' percent but the translator mistook to translate it to ''thirty''.

Philanthropy

De Boer-Buquicchio with the Board of Directors of the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children

De Boer-Buquicchio is a member of the Board of Directors of the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), a global nonprofit organization that combats child sexual exploitation, child pornography, and child abduction.[3]

She was elected President of Missing Children Europe in 2013, a position she took over from former Advocate General at the European Court of Justice, Sir Francis Jacobs.

Personal life

De Boer-Buquicchio is married and has three sons.[2]

Press conference at Tokyo

On 8 May, 2014, De Boer-Buquicchio was appointed Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.[4] From 12 to 18 May the following year she visited Armenia to investigate violence against children.[5].

From 19 to 26 October 2015, De Boer-Buquicchio traveled around Japan (Tōkyō, Ōsaka, Kawanishi and Naha) for eight days to investigate child trade, sexual exploitation, production of child pornography etc. in Japan,[6] and she held a press conference at Japan National Press Club in Tokyo on 26 October 2015[Notes 1] to report the results.[Notes 2]

Tarō Yamada [ja], then a member of the Japanese House of Councillors, was surprised how many mistakes she made.[10]

Later Yamada appeared in the internet program Yamada Tarō no sanchanneru (山田太郎のさんちゃんねる), shown on Niconico on 20 January 2016, to claim that De Boer-Buquicchio's statements contained many prejudices, mistakes and misunderstandings:[Notes 3]

1. Around thirty percent of Japanese school girls engage in enjo kōsai (compensated dating).
Mentioned later since it caused a diplomatic problem.
2. The Japanese courts seldom find people violating child pornography laws guilty.
From 2013 to 2015, 526 persons indicted for violation of child pornography law were found guilty and only one acquitted.[13]
3. The Japanese Child pornography laws (Act on Regulation and Punishment of Acts Relating to Child Prostitution and Child Pornography, and the Protection of Children etc.) stipulates light punishments for criminals. Even though they were judged to be guilty the criminals were only punished with a fine in most cases.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA), Japanese child pornography laws are not different from those in European countries or USA etc. from the point of view of gravity of punishments.[13] Also, Japanese court statistics indicate that about 95 percent of those found guilty of child pornography laws were sentenced to penal servitude.[13]
4. Japanese police hesitate to investigate cases when the victims do not file police reports.
Yamada inquired whether her allegation was true for the National Police Agency, which completely denied it officially.[14]
5. In Okinawa prefecture, if girls have to run away from home because of family breakdown they have no ways to earn money but prostitution.
No evidence was presented to support this claim.[14]

De Boer-Buquicchio's comment about enjo kōsai finally caused a diplomatic problem since the figure of thirty percent was clearly overestimated.

Concerned about gravity of what he saw as mistakes in the allegations by the Special Rapporteur, Yamada advised MOFA to express Japanese government's complaints officially and asked De Boer-Buquicchio to withdraw her statements and apologize.[15]

On 2 November 2015, MOFA issued a complaint to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) over De Boer-Buquicchio's comment on 26 October, and asked her to disclose objective data for the claim of thirteen percent.[16]

MOFA asked OHCHR to disclose the data from wich De Boer-Buquicchio alleged 13%.[17][18]on 7 November 2015.

On 11 November 2015 MOFA received a letter from De Boer-Buquicchios herself where she admitted that there were no objective data supporting her allegation made on 26 October 2015, and effectively withdrew her comments.[19][17][20]
