日本執(zhí)政的自民、公明兩黨7月1日上午召開安全保障法制建設(shè)磋商會,就修改憲法解釋以解禁集體自衛(wèi)權(quán)的內(nèi)閣決定案達(dá)成了一致。

Japan is now at a turning point for its national security strategy, with the Cabinet approving a reinterpretation of the Constitution to allow limited exercise of the right of collective self-defense.
日本內(nèi)閣同意通過修改憲法解釋以允許其有限度地行駛集體自衛(wèi)權(quán),這使得日本國家安全策略面臨重要變化。
所謂集體自衛(wèi)權(quán)(collective self-defense),是指與本國關(guān)系密切的國家遭受他國武力攻擊時,無論自身是否受到攻擊,都有使用武力進(jìn)行干預(yù)和阻止的權(quán)利。
日本內(nèi)閣決議案文本表示,集體自衛(wèi)權(quán)的行使范圍包括與日本有親密關(guān)系的國家遭受了外敵的攻擊(close allies under attack),事態(tài)危及日本國民的生命(a clear danger that the people's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness could be subverted)和國家的存亡(a threat to the existence of the Japanese state),日本可以行使有必要的最小限度的武力(exercise force to the minimum degree necessary)。
日本現(xiàn)行憲法規(guī)定,日本實(shí)行放棄戰(zhàn)爭(renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation)、不維持武力(land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained)、不擁有宣戰(zhàn)權(quán)(the renunciation of the right to wage war)的和平主義(pacifism),明確禁止日本行使集體自衛(wèi)權(quán)。
