Constitutional law scholars oppose gov't security bills

Ryuichi Ozawa (C), professor at Jikei University in Tokyo, and other constitutional law scholars opposed to a package of national security bills submitted to parliament by the government issue a joint statement at a news conference in THE Japanese capital on June 3, 2015, demanding the bills be scrapped. They argue that the legislative package, which would allow the Self-Defense Forces to engage in collective defense, would fundamentally overturn Japan's pacifist regime stipulated under the Constitution.
