Japan and Russia hold 'two-plus-two' meeting, revealing rift over territorial dispute
The foreign and defense ministers of Japan and Russia met Thursday in Tokyo to discuss regional security issues, revealing a deep gap between the two sides over a territorial dispute involving the Russian-held islands off Hokkaido.
After the “two-plus-two” meeting, Foreign Minister Taro Kono told reporters the Japanese side raised concerns over a recent missile-firing exercise and the deployment of a jet fighter unit to the islands, which Tokyo calls the Northern Territories.
Such military buildup on the islands is “unacceptable” given Japan’s claim of sovereignty over the territory, Kono said during a joint press announcement.
In response, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the military activities were conducted on territory under “Russian sovereignty” and adheres to international law. Moscow calls the disputed islands the Southern Kurils.
“We reconfirmed our position that the activities were conducted by the Russian military on our territory,” Lavrov said through a Japanese-language translator.
On Friday Kono and Lavrov will meet again in Tokyo to discuss the territorial issue and lay the groundwork for the next meeting between Shinzo Abe and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which will take place on the sidelines of the G20 meeting at the end of next month in Osaka.
But the territorial talks between the two top leaders have been deadlocked for months, and no major breakthrough is expected for the Lavrov-Kono meeting this time.
During Thursday’s two-plus-two meeting, the Lavrov expressed concern over Japan’s program to strengthen its “global missile defense” capability, referring to Tokyo’s plan to set up the U.S.-made Aegis Ashore missile defense system in the prefectures of Akita and Yamaguchi.
In response, Japanese Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya argued that Aegis Ashore is a “purely defensive system” and will not pose any threat to Russia or other countries.
Japan has decided to introduce the Aegis Ashore system to defend against North Korean ballistic missiles, but Moscow has argued it could also pose a threat to Russia.
Meanwhile both Kono and Lavrov said the two countries agreed to push for the denuclearization of North Korea.
“Russia’s position on the situation of the Korean Peninsula is very close to that of Japan,” Lavrov said.
The two-plus-two meeting was launched in November 2013 in hopes of building up confidence between the two countries and possibly help promote territorial talks as well. Thursday’s meeting was the fourth following the one held in July last year in Moscow.

JP Morgan Pays $5 Million To Settle Claims It Discriminates Against New Dads
Ever since the #MeToo movement erupted 18 months ago, considerable attention has been paid to the prevalence of sex discrimination in the workplace, as women complained about being underpaid, overlooked for promotion or subjected to rude, sexist comments by bosses and coworkers just because they tried to 'have it all' by juggling a family and a demanding career.
On Wall Street, stories like these have become so commonplace that details can muddle to the point of becoming indistinguishable.
But it's not every day you read a story about a young father winning a major settlement in a parental-leave discrimination claim.
On Thursday, JP Morgan tentatively agreed to pay $5 million to settle a class action lawsuit claiming the bank discriminated against fathers by denying them adequate family leave.
The lawsuit stemmed from a complaint filed two years ago by Derek Rotondo, an employee in the bank's Colombus, Ohio, office. It was elevated to class action status after the ACLU got involved.
Now, the bank is going to distribute the money to fathers who were denied the bank's four-month leave for 'primary' caregivers and, as part of the settlement, it has agreed to ensure that its parental leave policies are administered in a gender-neutral way.
According to the New York Times, if the settlement is approved by a judge, it will be the first - and largest - successful class-action suit brought by employees alleging discrimination in a company's family leave policies.
Here's some background on Rotondo's case, courtesy of WSJ:
Derek Rotondo, who works as a fraud investigator in the bank’s office in Columbus, Ohio, filed a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission arguing that, by designating biological mothers as the default primary caregivers, J.P. Morgan’s parental leave policy violates federal and state laws that prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on gender or gender-based stereotypes. He was joined in his charge by the American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Ohio.
After his son was born in 2017, Rotondo filed to take the full four months of leave. But the bank denied him on the basis that Rotondo's wife was a special-education teacher who was on summer break at the time of the birth. When it denied his application, the bank told Rotondo that it considered birth mothers primary caregivers by default.
Shortly before Rotondo filed his complaint, the bank expanded its leave policy for primary caregivers from 12 weeks to 16 weeks. Earlier this year, JPM CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank had expanded its leave for secondary caregivers from two weeks to six weeks.
But Rotondo's lawyers say this distinction is a problem, because it reinforces stereotypes that "our society has artificially set."
It'd be easier and simpler if corporations offered the same amount of leave to both parents, instead of relying on distinctions like "primary" and "non-primary" caregivers.
"You can’t achieve full equality for women in the workplace unless and until men are taking on a more active role at home," said Galen Sherwin, one of Mr. Rotondo’s lawyers and an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s Women’s Rights Project.
In the US, only 15% of private-sector workers have access to paid family leave, mostly in highly paid white collar professions. Socialists like Bernie Sanders' frequently complain that America is one of the only developed countries that doesn't require leave.
Ultimately, Rotondo was granted the full leave.
While this ruling is undoubtedly a step forward in the fight toward recognizing father's equal standing in the family realm, we can think of at least one other venue that is badly in need of reform.
