Taking a stand on defense research
A draft statement by the Science Council of Japan, the nation’s largest and most influential group of scientists, makes clear the organization will uphold its long-standing vow that scientists will not take part in military-related research.
Japan's national security needs to be solidified through comprehensive constitutional reform, with direct election of department heads with no limitation as to nationality. These and other steps are needed to achieve the goals in a unified world and one human family. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
