Far East Clause

Japanese: 極東条項 - きょくとうじょうこう
Far East Clause
Article 6 of the new Japan-US Security Treaty was signed in January 1960. It states that US forces are permitted to use Japanese facilities and areas "in order to contribute to the security of Japan and to the maintenance of international peace and security in the Far East." The opposition parties demanded that this Far East clause be deleted, on the grounds that it could involve Japan in conflicts in the Far East that are not directly related to Japan's security. In addition, the government's vague response regarding the scope of the Far East was criticized by the Liberal Democratic Party and the public for provoking China and the Soviet Union.

1960年1月に調印された新日米安全保障条約の第6条。その内容は「日本国の安全に寄与し,並びに極東における国際の平和及び安全の維持に寄与するため」アメリカ軍による日本の施設,区域の使用が認められるというものである。野党はこの極東条項が日本の安全に直接関係のない極東地域の紛争に日本を巻き込むおそれがあることを理由に削除を要求した。また極東の範囲に関する政府答弁が曖昧なため中国とソビエト連邦を刺激すると,自由民主党内や世論からも批判を浴びた。 (→安保改定問題 )
