2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and, on the occasion of this important historical year, NTT Advertising and the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA), supported by Nikkei Inc., held an international symposium in February. 27 with title. 70 Years of Postwar Japan and Proactive Contribution to Peace – Striving for the Rule of Law in the Asia-Pacific Region” in order to encourage a broad discussion on Japan's contributions to international society so far, and security in the Asia-Pacific region . Seventy years have passed since the Second World War, and there has been a tremendous transformation in today's international situation compared to the immediate post-war years.
Looking at the Asia-Pacific region, major changes are taking place in the economic and military balance, and against that backdrop there are clear moves aimed at changing the status quo by force. To ensure Japan's security and prosperity in these times, establishing a stable international order based on the “rule of law” in the Asia-Pacific region is a very important challenge. This symposium was created through the participation of frontline researchers and specialists from the United States, Australia, the Republic of Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia, as well as from France and the United Kingdom, from the perspective of elicitation of a diverse discussion on the direction Japan should take and the role it should play, based on the expectations and wishes of neighboring countries and major countries elsewhere regarding the way Japan responds and the format it adopts to move the economy forward to help.
A Proactive Contribution to Peace'' presented by the Abe administration amid the ongoing international situation that still exists 70 years after the war. Along with the goal of actively setting the international agenda to achieve a world order desirable for Japan, JIIA hopes that the implementation of outreach programs at home will also serve to strengthen diplomatic capacity to create a stable international environment based on rules that prevent the occurrence threats promotes domestic understanding of the challenges facing Japan and assists in the transfer of information abroad as outlined in the National Security Strategy formulated by the Japanese government.
Challenges Facing the Liberal International Order and Japan’s Role”
Regional Security in the Asia-Pacific and Expectations of Japan”
17:30-17:55 Special speech: "Regional Security in the Asia-Pacific and Challenges Facing the US-Japan Alliance". Recently, he was inaugurated as a member of the "Advisory Panel on 20th Century History and on Japan's Role and World Order in the 21st Century". He is a regular media commentator on Asia-Pacific affairs and China's Far West.
Kurt Campbell is President and Chief Executive Officer of The Asia Group, LLC, a strategic advisory and investment group specializing in the dynamic and fast-growing Asia Pacific region. In addition, Japan must consider what Western countries and countries in the Asia-Pacific region expect of it. Japan is one of the countries that has benefited most from the liberal international order in the 70 years since the end of World War II.
20th century and on the role of Japan and the world order in the 21st century was established. And what do you think is Japan's role in securing peace in the Middle East? How should countries in the Asia-Pacific region work together to address the challenges while working within a bilateral security framework?
The rise of China has become a key factor and we are seeing a shifting balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region.
Maritime Security and Management of Ocean Environment in East Asia”
China's maritime activities in the East China Sea have increased significantly since September 2012 and continue to this day. In the South China Sea, sea reclamation and the construction of artificial structures are taking place one after the other. Special Speech: "Regional Security in the Asia-Pacific and Challenges Facing the US-Japan Alliance".
One challenge the US and Japan must focus on going forward is achieving the completion of the TPP in two months. This idea lies at the heart of the UN Charter and in the first part of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution (not to be confused with the last part, which espouses a different principle). Second, Japan should always raise the alarm about and support actions in the South China Sea that violate the principle of peaceful settlement of disputes.
In this respect, the development of the situation in the Asia-Pacific region is of global importance, including for the European Union and its Member States. These democratic values are at the core of the liberal international order and are more widely accepted as universal norms, including in the Asia-Pacific region. Japan's increased role and power will have positive long-term consequences for maintaining the balance of power in Asia.
Another dynamic that poses a challenge to regional security is the strategic competition between China and the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. Shanmugam said the action of “a number of parties” in the South China Sea was not “strictly in accordance with international law.” There are worrying tensions and potential flashpoints on the Korean Peninsula and in the East and South China Seas.
Few countries in the region are as compliant with these measures as Japan and Australia. For Australia, our partnership with Japan is our closest and most mature in the region. Only the former activation can be said to have made any clear progress in the quarter century since the end of the Cold War.
Japan undoubtedly needs to further activate its pacifism if it wants to play a greater role in the security of the Asia-Pacific region. These practices have encouraged irresponsible fishing practices in the East Asia Sea and led to the severe decline of marine biodiversity. The acquisition of control and occupation in the disputed features at sea is also part of the.
The default affiliation for discussions of overlapping claims in the South China Sea is adherence to the rule of law, to international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), or some variation of its wording.
