Can SDF Fight History War?
Yoichi Shimada
I was surprised to read an article on the latest issue (April 15, Vol. 732) of “Taiyu,” a journal published by a support group for the Self-Defense Forces. That is a serial column article written by Lt. Col. Chizu Kurita, a woman adviser to the special representative for women, peace and security in the office of the secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The article about her meeting with Sri Lankan lawyer Radhika Coomaraswamy who visited the NATO headquarters in Brussels lacks what should have been a natural consciousness.
