JAPAN

The Defense policy Japan has pursued under the Constitution is based on the "Basic Policy for National Defense" adopted by the National Defense Council and approved by the Cabinet in May 1957. The "Basic Policy for National Defense" first called for promotion of international cooperation and other efforts for peace and establishment of the basis for national security through such measures as the promotion of public welfare.
