Cabinet OKs collective self-defense, reinterprets Constitution

TOKYO, Japan - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe meets the press at the prime minister's office in Tokyo on July 1, 2014, after his Cabinet approved 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.
