3 Japan’s Position

4 disarmament non-proliferation Japan : - only nation suffered by Atomic Bomb - actively promotes the policy on peaceful nuclear activity Japan’s Policy on Peaceful Nuclear Activity Memorial Dome (Hypocentre in Hiroshima) registered as the World Heritage in Dec. 1996 4 Japan was the first bombed nation and shall be the last one. Atomic Energy Basic Law ◆ Atomic Energy Basic Law (Dec. 1955) The research, development and utilization of atomic energy shall be limited to peaceful purposes, aimed at ensuring safety and performed independently under democratic management, the results there from shall be made public to contribute to international cooperation. Three Non-nuclear Principles ◆ Three Non-nuclear Principles Nuclear weapons: not making, not possessing, not bringing in

17 Present Nuclear Weapon Free Zone Tlatelolco (1969) Rarotonga (1986) Bangkok (1997) Pelindaba (2009) Semey (2009) (a)Total absence of nuclear weapons (b)An international system of verification and control General Assembly resolution 34/72B (1975) Obligations nuclear weapons: to prohibit and prevent test, use, manufacture, production, acquisition, receipt, storage, installation, development, possession Control system IAEA safeguards (Regional system not explicitly indicated) Weapon States Protocol Definition by UN Description in Treaty 17

18 Prospect of North-East Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone 18 Mongolian Nuclear-Weapons-Free Zone (1992) Korean Peninsula Denuclearization Statement (1991) Southeast Asian Nuclear-Weapons-Free Zone (1997) de facto dead letter DPRK:withdrawal from NPT (2003) nuclear tests (2006, 2009) adopted by the UN General Assembly (1998) (Resolution 53/77D, 55/33S) entry into force Issues on the North-East Asia NWFZ purpose: mutual observation ? cooperation enforcement ? total/partial denuclearization ? ASIATOM ? regional backend ? member states: Japan, ROK, DPRK, (Mongolia ?), (China ?) step to function: denuclearization, verification concern: politically unstable relationship (DPRK, China, any other alliance)

19 Way to North-East Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone Mutual confidence building - political issue like 6-Parties negotiation Denuclearization, Verification - support by nuclear weapon states, etc. Good practice in Countries of former USSR Denuclearization (1995) Central Asia NWFZ Treaty (2009) Japan’s support for their denuclearization, verification - Equipment for SSAC & PP - Cleaning-up & Medical care at test site 19 Construction of control system (conjecture) SSAC (already fully implemented in each country) RSAC (a good model: ABACC/EURATOM) technical support, transport - Collaboration with APSN (China, ROK, Japan, Russia, USA…) - Position in NWFZ (not explicit in present NWFZ) Denuclearization
