There are however basic human standards of decency which all civilised nations support and must inforce to protect the innocent of corrupt states.
We intervened in Bosnia to stop innocents being killed, in Rwanda: we didnt stand back and say "well, its a matter for them" - the woman and children of Japan deserve protection. First pressure should be bought upon their government, but if the state utterly fails to protect its own citizens from rape and other dispicable crimes then the state has failed and must be replaced.
In fact, I would be shocked if this kind of thing isnt illegal in Japan - I am still fairly sure now that this whole thing is a piece of satire poking fun at the image of games like GTA... it is simply too disgusting to be true.
