Japan PM's 'stealth' constitution plan raises civil rights fears

日本の首相の密かな憲法改正計画で人権問題?
2 May 2013

TOKYO — Shinzo Abe makes no secret of wanting to revise Japan's constitution, which was drafted by the United States after World War II, to formalize the country's right to have a military - but critics say his plans go deeper and could return Japan to its socially conservative, authoritarian past.

第二次大戦後に米国が草案を書いた日本の現憲法を、安倍晋三はおおっぴらに改正しようとしている・・・しかし、その結果、日本の保守化が強まり、独裁体制が生まれる可能性もある・・・

Critics see Abe's plan to ease requirements for revising the charter and then seek to change Article 9 as a "stealth'' strategy that keeps his deeper aims off the public radar.

安倍は真の狙いを 隠すために、憲法改正要件を緩和し、その後で、憲法9条を改正しようとしている・・・・

Japan’s Abenomics Haunted by Ghost of General MacArthur

日本のアベノミクスは マッカーサーの亡霊につきまとわれている

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s drive to revise Japan’s pacifist constitution for the first time risks alienating voters who support his economic agenda and dividing his coalition government before July elections.

Abe aims to make it easier to amend the constitution, a first step in plans to beef up the military at a time when Japan is mired in territorial disputes with China and South Korea. His Liberal Democratic Party is forecast to win the upper house race, potentially giving him the two-thirds majority in both chambers needed to alter the charter.
Japan’s World War II defeat resulted in the 1947 U.S.-drafted charter that renounces war as a sovereign right. Japan maintains a Self-Defense Force, seen here, that courts have upheld over the protests of pacifist groups. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has advocated revising the document since his first term as prime minister in 2006.

Overhauling a document imposed by U.S. General Douglas MacArthur’s occupation force after World War II has been a goal of LDP politicians, including Abe’s grandfather, since the party was founded in 1955. While polls show the public backs Abenomics, his strategy to resuscitate the world’s third-largest economy after more than a decade of deflation, a majority of voters don’t rate constitutional revision as a priority.

第二次大戦後にダグラス・マッカーサー将軍が 作った文書、日本国憲法を 改正することが、1955年に創設された自民党の目的だ。

ただし、有権者は 10年間のデフレから脱出するためにアベノミクスは支持しているが、憲法改正は 強く望んでいない。
