Institution of "laws on emergency" in Japan assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 13 (KCNA) -- The carriage of three bills to cope with emergency at the House of Representatives was followed by that at the House of Councillors, making it possible for the Japanese reactionaries to formally institute "laws on emergency", their cherished desire, and provide a legal guarantee for Japan's militarization and overseas aggression. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary. It goes on:
    The enactment of these laws rendered invalid article 9 of the present constitution which bans a war and the use of force and prevents Japan from having regular three services of an army and the principle of "exclusive self-defence," the basic strategy for the defence of Japan, meaningless.
    The institution of the laws virtually put a political period to the validity of the "peace constitution". This is little short of Japan's open declaration of its intention to step up its militarization and push ahead with its plan for overseas aggression in real earnest.
    What merits a more serious attention is that these legislations were targeted against the DPRK.
    By putting the laws in force the Japanese militarist forces seek to directly participate in the war of overseas aggression. They listed the DPRK as their first target.
    It is as clear as noonday that Japan, having a legal system for military expansion and overseas aggression, will launch this aggression anytime, fluttering blood-stained "hinomaru" and singing "kimigayo" as in the past.
    Invariable is the Japanese reactionaries' wild ambition to realize at any cost their old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere."
    The Japanese reactionaries are well advised to refrain from repeating their past history of aggression, clearly understanding that launching reinvasion is little short of digging their own graves.
