Constitution of Japan that has not been changed for more than 70 years.
After the Second World War in Japan, there is a constitution made by GHQ of the United States.
THE CONSTITUTION OF JAPAN – CHAPTER II RENUNCIATION OF WAR – Article 9
Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.
2) In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.
Because of this provision, even if Japanese citizens are kidnapped by North Korea, we can not move the troops to rescue them.
Moreover, even if the People’s Republic of China commits unrelentable infringement on the Senkaku Islands, the Okinawa Prefecture, and the exclusive economic zones unabated in the land of Japan, it can not be deterred by armed attacks.
Among the Japanese citizens, conservative, realist, right wing, I want to revise the Constitution.
However, since communists, socialists, newspaper companies, television stations, and politicians who are domesticated are secretarians, the constitutional amendment is very difficult.
I would like to revise the Constitution of Japan that is refusing even the 「belligerency right」 recognized by international law, so if you can sympathize, please spread this post.
