Cabinet OKs collective self-defense, reinterprets Constitution

SEOUL, South Korea - People in South Korea stage a demonstration on July 1, 2014, in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul against the Japanese Cabinet's approval for reinterpreting the Constitution so the Self-Defense Forces can defend allies under armed attack in collective self-defense. The decision marked a departure from Japan's postwar security policy despite criticism that its pacifist credo would be in danger.
