Peace Constitution

The Peace Constitution, primarily Japan's post-World War II constitution adopted in 1947, emphasizes renouncing war and the use of military force to resolve international disputes. It declares that Japan shall not maintain armed forces for warfare and commits to peaceful diplomacy, aiming to prevent future conflicts. While it allows for self-defense forces, their role is limited to national security and not offensive military action. This constitution reflects Japan's commitment to peace, disarmament, and fostering international cooperation, shaping the country's defense policies and international relations for decades.
