U N Security Council | ORGANIZATION

 

The nine person Security Council (安全保障会議, Anzen-Hoshō-Kaigi?) advises the prime minister on national security and the military. However, the Security Council deals with a wide spectrum of issues which indirectly affect Japan’s broader interests including basic national defense policy, the National Defense Program Outline, the outline on coordinating industrial production and other matters related to the National Defense Program Outline including decisions on diplomatic initiatives and defense operations. It was created on July 1, 1986 to replace its predecessor, the National Defense Council, which had acted as an advisory group on defense-related matters since 1956. The Security Council is presided over by the Prime Minister and includes the Ministers of State who are specified in advance under Article 9 of the Cabinet Law; the Foreign Minister, the Finance Minister, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, the Minister for defense, the Chairman of the National Public Safety Commission, and the Director General of the Economic Planning Agency. The Chairman of the Security Council may invite the Chairman of the Joint Staff Council or another relevant State Minister or Official to attend meetings.

"That indicates to us that despite their posturing that their nuclear power is only for civilian use, that they, in fact, continue to pursue a course that would lead to weaponization"


Barack Obama Feb 10 2010 5:53 AM from Albany Times-Union

"They rejected it, although one of the difficulties in dealing with Iran over the last several months is it's not always clear who's speaking on behalf of the government, and we get a lot of different mixed signals"


Barack Obama Feb 10 2010 5:53 AM from Albany Times-Union

"One thing I'm pleased about is to see how forward-leaning the Russians have been on this issue"


Barack Obama Feb 10 2010 5:05 AM from France 24

Barack Obama Feb 10 2010 3:55 AM from France 24

"We are confident right now that the international community is unified around Iran's misbehavior in this area ... How China operates at the Security Council as we pursue sanctions is something that we are going to have to see."


Barack Obama Feb 10 2010 2:16 AM from GlobalSecurity.org

"we’re going to have to see"


Barack Obama Feb 10 2010 12:32 AM from Business Week
