70 Years Later, are We Passing On a Sovereign Japan to the Next Generation?
Japan is still unable to revise its Constitution, which was created while it had no sovereignty ー even though sovereignty was restored 70 years ago.
I would like tentatively to share the insights and analysis carried in the Editorial Board, The Sankei Shimbun newspaper, dated May 4, 2022.
On April 28, 1952, the San Francisco Peace Treaty came into force. In 2022, Japan marks the 70th anniversary of the restoration of its sovereignty.
Sovereignty is the mark of an independent nation that can decide its own path without interference from other nations. The importance of this can be clearly seen in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, where the people have stood up courageously against their invaders to defend the independence, and therefore sovereignty, of their country.
