Japanese PM Takaichi Calls for Removing 'Enemy States' Language From UN Charter
Sanae Takaichi cited a 2005 UN World Summit resolution that called for eliminating references to 'enemy states' from the UN Charter.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi called for the removal of the term "enemy states" from the United Nations Charter, according to a report from Russian state news agency TASS.
In her speech, Takaichi recalled that a 2005 UN World Summit resolution had already expressed a determination to remove references to "enemy states" from the Charter, framing her call as consistent with that earlier commitment.
The "enemy states" clauses in the UN Charter originated from provisions targeting states that were adversaries of the Allied powers during World War II, including Japan. The available source material did not specify further details of Takaichi's speech, the venue, or reaction from other UN member states.
