Japan was an ally of Britain in World War I and became a great power, but to continue Japan's approach in the tradition of the West and expand its colonies clashed with former ally, and America forcing it to an alliance with Hitler, resulting in total destruction and the loss of everything built in decades and signed the surrender treaty which renounces the use of force abroad and ensure that Article Nine of the Japanese constitution after World War II.
and Bastvhal the global war against terrorism, the current Government of Japan found under the leadership of Shinzo his father and with the consent but with the encouragement of the United States, which is locked in that global war, and felt compelled to free themselves of Article Nine of the Japanese Constitution limits were approved to widen the interpretation of Article Nine of the Japanese constitution, which was adopted by the Liberal Party and smaller ally, the New Komeito ruling coalition, and the approval of the Board Officially Minister on the final draft of the project to change the interpretation of Article IX of the Constitution, a move that allows the country to exercise the right of "collective self-defense of Japan" is a radical shift in international politics to Japan and change radically in the basic policy for Japan any "only defense policy" which stuck out so far, which will allow for its army to fight abroad for the first time since World War II.
based radical change, which was adopted in the interpretation of the Japanese Constitution to "security conditions and variables accelerated successively surrounding Japan" and gives Japan the right to "exercise collective self-defense", which will allow or qualifies Japan, if it wanted, to be able to do a counter-attack even if it is not attacked directly, ie, in case the one allied to Japan to attack countries, of the principle of "exercising the right of collective self-defense," which makes the impact of that decision and its implications go beyond the regional environment of Japan to the environment or international dimension , because the security of Japan's national and "human freedom and happiness of the Japanese people" includes economic security and therefore the armed onslaught against a foreign country may threaten the survival of Japan is determined according to the target of the attack, extent and manner and hence Japan authorizes the armed attack against a foreign country and other foreign countries threaten its close ties with Japan "The effects are reflected his threats to the survival of the Japanese nation or undermine the rights and the freedom and happiness of the Japanese people drastically." Among the changes is also the geographical boundaries of the abolition of defensive support Japanese for the US Army and other foreign armies after it was limited in the past to emergency situations on the Korean peninsula
that the rehabilitation of Japan using the power of the principle of "the right of collective self-defense of Japan" constitutional measure set by the Council of Ministers interpretative decision in If cases or conditions provide three, namely: (1) displays a foreign country and its close ties with Japan links to an armed attack reflected effects and threats to the survival of the Japanese nation or undermine the rights and the freedom and happiness of the Japanese people drastically, (2) the lack of other appropriate means to protect Japanese society to those reflections, and (3) minimal use of force to deter the attack.
Because Article Nine of the Japanese constitution has been adopted after Japan's defeat in the agreement of surrender with the United States, the decision pointed out that the Japanese government will be a future review of the "special principles of cooperation in Defense areas between Japan and the United States "on the basis of the exercise of the right of collective self-defense, and will re-drafting of legislation and laws relating to self-defense forces, and to maintain the security situation and the surrounding areas.
According to the new interpretation, it if had been a foreign country has close ties with Japan to an armed attack and it turned out that there is: (a) a threat to Japan's survival or (b) radically undermines the rights of the people, Vsasthaddam minimum necessary power in the right of collective self-defense in accordance with the Constitution and the subject of international law and requires the preparation of appropriate laws until the Self-Defense Forces can protect weapons US troops are protecting Japan. And to enable the Self-Defense Forces to carry out to provide logistical support for the forces of a foreign state in the non-places of the fighting.
The adoption of the new constitutional interpretation sparked a sharp division of opinion in Parliament, the opposition calls for non-Olatatrav new interpretation with Article IX of the Constitution and demands by appealing to the opinion of the people any referendum or approved only for by the Council of Ministers only, since it Agier basic policy for Japan any "only defense policy" which stuck out so far and that the fateful consequences of Japan make the state is able to wage war. The divisions of opinion in Parliament Skip to local councils, and among academic experts and the media, between supporters and opponents. But the ruling bloc is representing the majority remain.
The Japanese government is trying to calm the views convulsive about this change and the fear that Japan will go to the military governments of Japan's approach at the beginning of the twentieth century, where the transition to military force and relied upon to support the economy and get rid of the economic crisis that surround Japan. But the government emphasizes that love Japan Peace necessarily requires the right of collective self-defense of Japan and that there is no intent to use military force in the future in order to protect a foreign country and that this change will contribute to strengthening the Japan-US alliance in maintaining peace and security in the region protection. Alldoralaijaa of the Gulf Cooperation Council There is no doubt that the global war against terrorism being waged in the Middle East region, especially around the oil wells, which are the most important objectives of the terrorists, and therefore it is no doubt that the establishment of Japan to adopt such a strategy and the expansion of the interpretation of Article IX of the Constitution require the explicit consent of the United States, which is of the imposition of that article on Japan, which is in the same commander and leader of the coalition against terrorism, that is from encouraged the adoption of such a move, but the Japanese government as well as the United States know that the Japanese intellectual structure change after more than seventy years to adapt and live in peace will be difficult, at least on short term we see here that the explanation focused on the important point perhaps with some of the actions and cooperation between Japan and the Gulf states will meet the approval of the Japanese community in Ankra
