Japan's Prime Minister Calls for Removal of 'Enemy State' Label in UN Charter
In her first address to the United Nations General Assembly, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi called for the removal of the 'enemy state' label from the UN Charter, a term originating from World War II that still refers to Japan. She emphasized the need for the UN to modernize and become more effective amid global challenges, reaffirming Japan's commitment to multilateralism. The term appears in several UN Charter articles and was initially intended to prevent the resurgence of militarism among former Axis powers.
