"Japan's protest at UNESCO's listing of Nanjing Massacre was unreasonable and the inscription will play a positive role in safeguarding peace in human development, experts said.


On Friday, documents concerning the Nanjing Massacre were listed in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.


Japan's foreign ministry has questioned the authenticity of the documents, calling on UNESCO to be neutral and fair, and for changes to be made to the process.
