2. 2 1. Although there are clear distinctions between R2P and human security in the UN context, recent developments of R2P provide room to accommodate the actions of human security on the ground. 2. Aside from Japan’s political advocacy, there are some empirical evidences of Pillar II collaboration in the field. 3. Recent cabinet decision on Japan’s Development Cooperation Charter widens the range of development cooperation to include human rights and humanitarian assistance. This enables her development assistance (which is based on human security) to more tangibly contribute to Pillar II. 4. In the context of ASEAN, Japan’s new “Development Cooperation” is eligible to collaborate with ASEAN institutions such as AIPR and AICHR, aside from bilateral cooperation with the Member States.

9. 9 Cabinet decision on the Development Cooperation Charter on 10 February 2015 1. “Development” is used in a broader sense: its also encompasses peacebuilding and governance, promotion of basic human rights and humanitarian assistance. 2. Basic policies of the Charter are “non-military basis”, “human security” and “self-help” 3. Coordination with international peace cooperation activities is emphasized 4. Proactive collaboration with international organizations in humanitarian assistance, peacebuilding, governance and global issues. 5. ASEAN is one of the priority areas for Japan’s development cooperation. Aside from “ASEAN Connectivity” and “IAI”, Japan will promote cooperation with ASEAN as a regional organization to support united efforts to tackle its challenges ✔ Cooperation with AIPR and AICHR is possible

10. 10 1. There is a big potential for States promoting “human Security” to extend effective collaboration under Pillar II of R2P. We might need a clear narrative in terms of this new development. 2. As for Japan, collaboration under Pillar II is already taking place in real life situations. Aside from this, Development Cooperation Charter has widened the scope of “development” and reconfirmed the enhancement of PKO cooperation as well as collaboration with international organizations in humanitarian assistance, peacebuilding, governance and global issues. This is a clear sign of Japan’s contribution to Pillar II. 3. Japan’s continuous collaboration with ASEAN could enter a new phase by working with ASEAN institutions such as AIPR and AICHR. This could also be considered her contribution to capacity- building in the context of Pillar II.
