Japan to allow country's military to participate in foreign conflicts
Q. Which country's constitution allowed country's military to participate in foreign conflicts recently?- Published on 24 Sep 15a. China
b. South Korea
c. Egypt
d. Japan
ANSWER: Japan
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe promoted legislation to allow the country's military to participate in foreign conflicts, overturning its previous policy of fighting only in self-defense. Since the Japanese constitution only allows the Japanese military to act in self-defense, the legislation reinterpreted the relevant passages to allow the military to operate overseas for "collective self-defense" for allies.
