Shidehara Kijūrō and the Japanese Constitution's war-abolishing Article 9
The origin and purpose of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution seem shrouded in secrecy. This paper places Article 9 in the context of the UN Charter and peace constitutions which were emerging globally that aimed to limit state sovereignty in favor of international organization and the renunciation of war in the aftermath of WWII (Schlichtmann 2009b). It is a provision the Japanese people have upheld for more than seventy years. With the gradu…

Article Nine in Context - Limitations of National Sovereignty and the Abolition of War in Constitutional Law
For my friend, William R. Carter, who loved Japan and suddenly passed away on 25 April 2009When we discuss Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, we have to take into account the history and purpose of postwar constitutions in other countries as well, with regard to peace, disarmament and an international order that would be based on principles of justice and enforceable law. Central issue here is the collective security of the United Nations th…
H. G. Wells and peace education
H. G. Wells produced some of the best literature and practical ideas on peace, providing essential clues for achieving a mutually beneficial federal human unity through an ‘Open Conspiracy’, as he put it, i.e. an intellectual and political transformation, and a revolution in education. It is possible to abolish war and ensure lasting human progress and prosperity—facilitated today, as Wells had foreseen, by emerging third‐world countries like Chi…
Japan, Germany and the Idea of the Hague Peace Conferences
After the `opening' of Japan in 1853-54, the international system began to change from the limited, traditional European `concert of nations' to a `comity of nations', proclaiming universal norms and values. Participants in the first Hague Peace Conference - called by the Russian Tsar, Nicholas II - therefore included the USA, China, Japan, Persia, Siam (Thailand) and Turkey. The conference marked the early stages of today's International Court o…
A Draft on Security Council Reform
The article investigates why UN Security Council reform efforts failed in 1997–98, when after much preparation the issue should have been resolved. It argues that the System of Collective Security, which the founders of the United Nations had envisioned, must be put into effect, to achieve disarmament and lasting peace. This requires that members “confer on the Security Council primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and…
