Special Criminal Law - Keiji Tokubetsuho

Japanese: 刑事特別法 - けいじとくべつほう
Special Criminal Law - Keiji Tokubetsuho

It is the abbreviation of "Special Criminal Law Incidental to the Implementation of the Agreement under Article 6 of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States of America, Regarding Facilities and Areas and the Status of United States Armed Forces in Japan" (Law No. 138 of 1952). With the revision of the Japan-US Status of Forces Agreement, the current title was changed to Law No. 102 of 1960, but there was almost no substantial change in the content. Chapter 1 "General Provisions" defines "United States Armed Forces," "military personnel," "family members," etc., and Chapter 2 "Crime" prescribes crimes such as violating facilities or areas (Article 2), damage to military property (Article 5), and violation of secrets (Article 6). Chapter 3, "Criminal Procedures," stipulates the restrictions on procedural matters such as arrest, subpoena, detention, search, seizure, and inspection within US military facilities and areas due to the restriction on jurisdiction under Article 17 of the Japan-US Status of Forces Agreement (Articles 10, 13, and 14), as well as the cooperative relationship in criminal cases between Japanese judicial and investigative authorities and US military courts and the US military (Articles 11, 12, 15-19).
