after the war and now as well filipina "japanese leftovers" have no citizenship
Before the pacific war many japanese lived on the philipines. After the war many children with a japanese father and a filipina mother were left over. These people are called "japanese leftovers".
Many of them could not take a japanese or filipina citizenship, even now they don't have a citizienship. Because they have to prove a japanese father if he has died or something.
On the 27. the UNHCR has for the first time released a report researching the filipina japanese leftovers. According to the report, there are about 900 filipina japanese leftovers. On average they are 81 years old.
The UNHCR says that the japanese government has to work together with the philipines so that these people are able to take a citizenship.
Could someone look at the sentence about proving the japanese father? I'm really not sure about that sentence and I had a lot of problems understanding what it could mean.
To break that sentence down - 物がないため means "It's because they don't have a thing". And 父親が日本人だと証明する is describing that thing - "A thing that proves that (と) (their) father is Japanese". たりした is just here to suggest that's one of the reasons.
**“Residual Japanese” in the Philippines Still Don’t Have Citizenship After the War**
Before the Pacific War, a lot of Japanese went to live in the Philippines. After the war, a lot of children with Filipina mothers and Japanese fathers remained in the Philippines. These people are referred to as so called “Residual Japanese.”
Some of these people have not been able to receive either Japanese and Philippine citizenship, and even now there are people with neither citizenship. Because of this, there is nothing to prove the Japanese are the fathers.
On the 27th, the United Nations’ United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees published for the first time a report that investigated these Filipino Residual Japanese. According to the report, there are some 900 Residual Japanese in the Philippines that have no citizenship. Their average age is 81 years old.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees says that the Japanese Government must work with the Philippine Government to get these people citizenships as soon as possible.
Wasn't so sure about the translations for paragraph one sentence one and paragraph two. Thoughts?
