反對在二次大戰時犯下諸多屠殺罪行之日本成為聯合國安全理事會常任理事國，聖路易抗日史實會會長劉人豪表示，「反對日本在沒有正式向二戰時期受難人士及國家公開道歉及賠償之前進入聯合國擔任安理會常任理事國」，抗日史實會準備有簽名表格供各界人士簽名反對，支持這項行動之各界人士可電劉人豪會長 (314-427-8070) 取得表格簽名或上網 www.sign.sjwar.org 簽名，所有簽名名單將於3月31日以前收齊交予抗日史實會全國總會，再轉交予聯合國秘書長安南及有關單位。

日本在二戰時對中國軍民同胞犯下的罪行包括，南京大屠殺，731部隊細菌戰，慰安婦，奴役勞工等，至今都沒有為這些戰爭罪行作任何道歉及賠償。

抗日戰爭史實維護會在全球發起的反對簽名信全文如下：(英文信請按此)

我們下列簽署人極力主張閣下明確發言並投票反對日本成為聯合國安全理事會常任理事國之任何議案或程序。做為一個二戰侵略國，日本在其鄰國犯下了無數之暴行，毀壞和掠奪了天文數字的財產，新近出土的證據指出日本在戰爭期間曾
有系統的奢殺戰俘及千百萬老少嬰兒等無辜平民，日本政府及其國會從未正式承認其所犯罪行，從未對那些歷經苦難的受害人，給予官方正式道歉，或給予充分賠償；受害人包括數十萬名被日軍充為性奴隸的婦女，在違反日內瓦公約下，更有百萬軍民死於生化武器之實驗及使用，並且殘殺虐待和奴役盟國戰俘。日本至今從未對其戰時罪行表示自責，也拒絕悔改，看起來好像無可信任。國際社會不可以也不應當以保障和維護全世界及地域性和平及正義之安全理事會席位授予日本這種國家。

By Alliance for Preserving the Truth of Sino-Japanese War

We, the undersigned, strongly urge you to speak out and vote against any motion or procedure to grant Japan the status as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. As the aggressor in World War II, Japan committed numerous atrocities in its neighboring countries, and destroyed and looted an astronomical amount of properties. Recent discoveries have revealed its systematic slaughtering of prisoners of war and tens of millions of innocent civilians, from newborn to elderly, during those years. Its government and parliament have never formally acknowledged its wrongdoing, offered official apologies to those who suffered immensely, or provided adequate reparation to compensate its victims, including the hundreds of thousands women forced into sexual slavery, nearly a million died in its biochemical experimentations and battlefield deployments in violation of the Geneva Convention, or the Allied prisoners of war butchered, brutalized and enslaved. Japan thus far shows no remorse of its past misdeeds, refuses to repent, and appears to be untrustworthy. The international community can not and must not designate such state to seat on the Security Council which is chartered to safeguard and maintain regional and world peace and justice.

Alliance for Preserving the Truth of Sino-Japanese War (APTSJW) is a Northern California based grassroots organization dedicated to preserve the truth of the painful history of the Sino-Japanese War (1931-1945). APTSJW provides infrastructural support to research and educational organizations sharing the same conviction, and makes constructive recommendations to all concerned parties to heal old wounds, bring past conflicts to final closure, and lay the foundation for peace and prosperity in the region. There is no ill feeling or hatred towards the Japanese people. The Japanese civilians, in fact, were also the victims of a handful of Japanese militarists who brought unspeakable horror to permanently scar the victimized nations, including Japan.
