日本为联合国南苏丹维和使命提供了一批弹药,这是日本自二战结束以来首次为外国军队提供军火。
日本说,应联合国的要求,日本于星期一晚间向韩国军方交付了一万发子弹。韩国军人参加国际维和部队,应对可能再度爆发内战的南苏丹的暴力。
按照日本的和平宪法,日本应自行禁止出口军火。但东京官员说,法律允许日本在内阁批准的情况下为联合国维和行动提供军火。
日本首相安倍晋三曾经表示,他愿修改宪法,以便在世界各地实行更积极的和平政策。
安倍晋三还提议放松已经实行数十年的有关出口、研制及生产日本武器的禁令。
Japan has provided a shipment of ammunition to a United Nations peacekeeping mission in troubled South Sudan, making it the first time since World War Two that Tokyo has given arms to a foreign military.
Responding to requests by the U.N., Japan said it gave 10,000 bullets late Monday to the South Korean military, which is part of an international force dealing with violence that threatens to return South Sudan to civil war.
Japan has a pacifist constitution and is subject to a self-imposed ban on arms exports. But Tokyo officials say the law allows the provision of arms as part of U.N. peacekeeping operations, with approval by the cabinet.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has said he would like to revise the constitution to allow for what he calls a more "proactive peace policy" around the world.
He has also proposed relaxing the decades-old ban on the export, development and production of Japanese weapons.
