日本集體自衛權法制化之發展方向

The Legislation Direction of Japan's Right of Collective Self-defense

安倍晉三內閣於2014 年7 月1 日通過閣議重新解釋憲法，允許有限行使集體自衛權。雖然日本政府也開始朝三大方向：強化個別安全保障、國際維和一般法化、以及有限行使集體自衛權，試圖建構完整的安全保障法制。然而聯合執政的自民黨與公明黨之間仍存在四大爭議：國際維和活動範圍與支援對象、日本未直接遭受攻擊能否行使集體自衛權、參與國際掃雷任務、以及自衛隊「治安出動」與「海上警備行動時」使用武器之基準等。

On July 1, 2014, the Second Abe Cabinet passed the Cabinet Decision to reinterpret the postwar Japan's constitution in exercising limited right of collective self-defense. The Japanese government has also begun to establish seamless security legislation toward three major directions: enhancing Japan 's security, establishing permanent law for peacekeeping operation, and exercising limited right of collective self-defense. However, there are still four main disputes between the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito, in the location of peacekeeping operation, exercising right of collective self-defense when Japan is not under direct attack, participation in international minesweeping, and the standards of arms use for Japan's Self-defense Forces in carrying out security deployment and coast guard actions.
