Treaty of Friendship Commerce and Navigation between Japan and the United States of America

Japanese: 日米友好通商航海条約 - にちべいゆうこうつうしょうこうかいじょうやく（英語表記）Treaty of Friendship Commerce and Navigation between Japan and the United States of America

A treaty between Japan and the United States signed in Tokyo on April 2, 1953, and came into effect on October 30 of the same year. It consists of a preamble, 25 main articles, a coda, and a protocol, and stipulates that both countries will grant each other national and most-favored-nation treatment in a wide range of areas, including entry, business activities, exchange control, tariffs, and navigation. The commerce and navigation relationship between Japan and the United States had been in a treaty-free state since the Japan-U.S. Treaty of Commerce and Navigation concluded in 1911 expired in 1940, and after World War II it had only been provisionally regulated by the provisions of Article 12 of the Treaty of Peace with Japan, but this treaty has placed it on a stable basis. It is also the first treaty of commerce and navigation concluded by Japan with a foreign country after the war.

1953年4月2日東京で署名され，同年 10月 30日発効した日本，アメリカ両国間の条約。前文，本文 25ヵ条，末文および議定書から成り，入国，事業活動，為替管理，関税，航海など広範な分野にわたって内国民および最恵国待遇を与え合うことを規定している。日米間の通商航海関係は，11年に締結された日米通商航海条約が 40年に失効したのち無条約状態となり，第2次世界大戦後は対日講和条約第 12条の規定により暫定的に律せられていたにすぎなかったが，本条約により安定した基礎のうえに立つこととなった。戦後日本が外国との間に結んだ最初の通商航海条約でもある。
