*International
Petition: PRIME MINISTER ABE: SAVE JAPAN'S PEACE CONSTITUTION!
The
Global Article 9 Campaign has launched an international
petition to ask Prime Minister Abe not to amend Japan's Peace
clause. This initiative seeks to highlight the global support for
war-renouncing Article 9 and to contribute to ensuring that global
voices in support of Japan's peace constitution are heard in the lead
up to the July 21 elections of the Upper House of the Diet, as
several parties, notably Abe's Liberal Democratic Party, have made
constitutional revision a priority as part of their electoral
platform. The petition's key message includes:
- the support for
Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution and opposition to the push to
amend it;
- a call to the Prime Minister and his
administration to nurture Japan as a peaceful nation rather than
choose the path of militarism;
- and an appeal to listen to
the growing international movement that recognizes the value of
Japan's peace clause as a peace mechanism, as an ideal to which
people aspire and as a model to follow.
