A statement released by our partners, Peace Boat and Global Article 9 Campaign urges the Japanese government to reconsider the recent amendments made to Article 9 of the Constitution -- a legal mechanism that prevents foreign military involvement.

We are determined to reclaim the true meaning of “proactive pacifism”, to realize the principles of Article 9, such as disarmament and non-military solutions to disputes through dialogue, mediation, prevention measures and international laws.
