TREATY OF PEACE WITH JAPAN Signed
at San Francisco, 8 September 1951 WHEREAS
the Allied Powers and Japan are resolved that henceforth their
relations shall be those of nations which, as sovereign equals,
cooperate in friendly association to promote their common welfare
and to maintain international peace and security, and are therefore
desirous of concluding a Treaty of Peace which will settle questions
still outstanding as a result of the existence of a state of war
between them; WHEREAS
Japan for its part declares its intention to apply for membership in
the United Nations and in all circumstances to conform to the
principles of the Charter of the United Nations; to strive to
realize the objectives of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
to seek to create within Japan conditions of stability and
well-being as defined in Articles 55 and 56 of the Charter of the
United Nations and already initiated by post-surrender Japanese
legislation; and in public and private trade and commerce to conform
to internationally accepted fair practices; WHEREAS
the Allied Powers welcome the intentions of Japan set out in the
foregoing paragraph; THE
ALLIED
POWERS
AND

Article
5 (a)
Japan accepts the obligations set forth in Article
2 of the Charter of the United Nations, and in particular the
obligations (i)
to settle its international disputes by peaceful means in such a

endangered; (ii)
to refrain in its international relations from the threat or use of
force against the territorial integrity or political independence of
any State or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of
the United Nations; (iii)
to give the United Nations every assistance in any action it takes

of Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations in their relations
with Japan. (c)
The Allied Powers
for their part recognize that Japan as a sovereign nation possesses

may voluntarily enter into collective security arrangements. Article
6 (a)
All occupation forces of the Allied Powers shall be withdrawn from
Japan as soon as possible after the coming into force of the present
Treaty, and in any case not later than 90 days thereafter. Nothing
in this provision shall, however, prevent the stationing or
retention of foreign armed forces in Japanese territory under or in
consequence of any bilateral or multilateral agreements which have
been or may be made between one or more of the Allied Powers, on the
one hand, and Japan on the other. (b)
The provisions of Article
9 of the Potsdam Proclamation of 26 July 1945, dealing with the
return of Japanese military forces to their homes, to the extent not
already completed, will be carried out. (c)
All Japanese property for which compensation has not already been
paid, which was supplied for the use of the occupation forces and
which remains in the possession of those forces at the time of the
coming into force of the present Treaty, shall be returned to the
Japanese Government within the same 90 days unless other
arrangements are made by mutual agreement. POLITICAL
AND ECONOMIC CLAUSES Article
7 (a)
Each of the Allied Powers, within one year after the present Treaty
has come into force between it and Japan, will notify Japan which of
its prewar bilateral treaties or conventions with Japan it wishes to
continue in force or revive, and any treaties or conventions so
notified shall continue in force or by revived subject only to such
amendments as may be necessary to ensure conformity with the present
Treaty. The treaties and conventions so notified shall be considered
as having been continued in force or revived three months after the
date of notification and shall be registered with the Secretariat of
the United Nations. All such treaties and conventions as to which
Japan is not so notified shall be regarded as abrogated. (b)
Any notification made under paragraph (a) of this Article may except
from the operation or revival of a treaty or convention any
territory for the international relations of which the notifying
Power is responsible, until three months after the date on which
notice is given to Japan that such exception shall cease to apply. Article
8 (a)
Japan will recognize the full force of all treaties now or hereafter
concluded by the Allied Powers for terminating the state of war
initiated on 1 September 1939, as well as any other arrangements by
the Allied Powers for or in connection with the restoration of
peace. Japan also accepts the arrangements made for terminating the
former League of Nations and Permanent Court of International
Justice. (b)
Japan renounces all such rights and interests as it may derive from
being a signatory power of the Conventions of St. Germain-en-Laye of
10 September 1919, and the Straits Agreement of Montreux of 20 July
1936, and from Article 16 of the Treaty of Peace with Turkey signed
at Lausanne on 24 July 1923. (c)
Japan renounces all rights, title and interests acquired under, and
is discharged from all obligations resulting from, the Agreement
between Germany and the Creditor Powers of 20 January 1930 and its
Annexes, including the Trust Agreement, dated 17 May 1930, the
Convention of 20 January 1930, respecting the Bank for International
Settlements; and the Statutes of the Bank for International
Settlements. Japan will notify to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in
Paris within six months of the first coming into force of the
present Treaty its renunciation of the rights, title and interests
referred to in this paragraph. Article
9 Japan
will enter promptly into negotiations with the Allied Powers so
desiring for the conclusion of bilateral and multilateral agreements
providing for the regulation or limitation of fishing and the
conservation and development of fisheries on the high seas. Article
10 Japan
renounces all special rights and interests in China, including all
benefits and privileges resulting from the provisions of the final
Protocol signed at Peking on 7 September 1901, and all annexes,
notes and documents supplementary thereto, and agrees to the
abrogation in respect to Japan of the said protocol, annexes, notes
and documents. Article
11 Japan
accepts the judgments of the International Military Tribunal for the
Far East and of other Allied War Crimes Courts both within and
outside Japan, and will carry out the sentences imposed thereby upon
Japanese nationals imprisoned in Japan. The power to grant clemency,
to reduce sentences and to parole with respect to such prisoners may
not be exercised except on the decision of the Government or
Governments which imposed the sentence in each instance, and on
recommendation of Japan. In the case of persons sentenced by the
International Military Tribunal for the Far East, such power may not
be exercised except on the decision of a majority of the Governments
represented on the Tribunal, and on the recommendation of Japan. Article
12 (a)
Japan declares its readiness promptly to enter into negotiations for
the conclusion with each of the Allied Powers of treaties or
agreements to place their trading, maritime and other commercial
relations on a stable and friendly basis. (b)
Pending the conclusion of the relevant treaty or agreement, Japan
will, during a period of four years from the first coming into force
of the present Treaty (1)
accord to each of the Allied Powers, its nationals, products and
vessels (i)
most-favoured-nation treatment with respect to customs duties,
charges, restrictions and other regulations on or in connection with
the importation and exportation of goods; (ii)
national treatment with respect to shipping, navigation and imported
goods, and with respect to natural and juridical persons and their
interests - such treatment to include all matters pertaining to the
levying and collection of taxes, access to the courts, the making
and performance of contracts, rights to property (tangible and
intangible), participating in juridical entities constituted under
Japanese law, and generally the conduct of all kinds of business and
professional activities; (2)
ensure that external purchases and sales of Japanese state trading
enterprises shall be based solely on commercial considerations. (c)
In respect to any matter, however, Japan shall be obliged to accord
to an Allied Power national treatment, or most-favored-nation
treatment, only to the extent that the Allied Power concerned
accords Japan national treatment or most-favored-nation treatment,
as the case may be, in respect of the same matter. The reciprocity
envisaged in the foregoing sentence shall be determined, in the case
of products, vessels and juridical entities of, and persons
domiciled in, any non-metropolitan territory of an Allied Power, and
in the case of juridical entities of, and persons domiciled in, any
state or province of an Allied Power having a federal government, by
reference to the treatment accorded to Japan in such territory,
state or province. (d)
In the application of this Article, a discriminatory measure shall
not be considered to derogate from the grant of national or
most-favored-nation treatment, as the case may be, if such measure
is based on an exception customarily provided for in the commercial
treaties of the party applying it, or on the need to safeguard that
party's external financial position or balance of payments (except
in respect to shiping and navigation), or on the need to maintain
its essential security interests, and provided such measure is
proportionate to the circumstances and not applied in an arbitrary
or unreasonable manner. (e)
Japan's obligations under this Article shall not be affected by the
exercise of any Allied rights under Article 14 of the present
Treaty; nor shall the provisions of this Article be understood as
limiting the undertakings assumed by Japan by virtue of Article 15
of the Treaty. Article
13 (a)
Japan will enter into negotiations with any of the Allied Powers,
promptly upon the request of such Power or Powers, for the
conclusion of bilateral or multilateral agreements relating to
international civil air transport. (b)
Pending the conclusion of such agreement or agreements, Japan will,
during a period of four years from the first coming into force of
the present Treaty, extend to such Power treatment not less
favorable with respect to air-traffic rights and privileges than
those exercised by any such Powers at the date of such coming into
force, and will accord complete equality of opportunity in respect
to the operation and development of air services. (c)
Pending its becoming a party to the Convention on International
Civil Aviation in accordance with Article 93 thereof, Japan will
give effect to the provisions of that Convention applicable to the
international navigation of aircraft, and will give effect to the
standards, practices and procedures adopted as annexes to the
Convention in accordance with the terms of the Convention. CLAIMS
AND PROPERTY (a)
It is recognized that Japan should pay reparations to the Allied
Powers for the damage and suffering caused by it during the war. Nevertheless
it is also recognized that the resources of Japan are not presently
sufficient, if it is to maintain a viable economy, to make complete
reparation for all such damage and suffering and at the same time
meet its other obligations. Therefore,
1.
Japan will promptly enter into negotiations with Allied Powers so
desiring, whose present territories were occupied by Japanese forces
and damaged by Japan, with a view to assisting to compensate those
countries for the cost of repairing the damage done, by making
available the services of the Japanese people in production,
salvaging and other work for the Allied Powers in question. Such
arrangements shall avoid the imposition of additional liabilities on
other Allied Powers, and, where the manufacturing of raw materials
is called for, they shall be supplied by the Allied Powers in
question, so as not to throw any foreign exchange burden upon Japan.
2.
(I) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (II) below, each of
the Allied Powers shall have the right to seize, retain, liquidate
or otherwise dispose of all property, rights and interests of (a)
Japan and Japanese nationals, (b)
persons acting for or on behalf of Japan or Japanese nationals, and (c)
entities owned or controlled by Japan or Japanese nationals, which
on the first coming into force of the present Treaty were subject to
its jurisdiction. The property, rights and interests specified in
this subparagraph shall include those now blocked, vested or in the
possession or under the control of enemy property authorities of
Allied Powers, which belong to, or were held or managed on behalf
of, any of the persons or entities mentioned in (a), (b) or (c)
above at the time such assets came under the controls of such
authorities. (II)
The following shall be excepted from the right specified in
subparagraph (I) above: (i)
property of Japanese natural persons who during the war resided with
the permission of the Government concerned in the territory of one
of the Allied Powers, other than territory occupied by Japan, except
property subjected to restrictions during the war and not released
from such restrictions as of the date of the first coming into force
of the present Treaty; (ii)
all real property, furniture and fixtures owned by the Government of
Japan and used for diplomatic or consular purposes, and all personal
furniture and furnishings and other private property not of an
investment nature which was normally necessary for the carrying out
of diplomatic and consular functions, owned by Japanese diplomatic
and consular personnel; (iii)
property belonging to religious bodies or private charitable
institutions and used exclusively for religious or charitable
purposes; (iv)
property, rights and interests which have come within its
jurisdiction in consequence of the resumption of trade and financial
relations subsequent to 2 September 1945, between the country
concerned and Japan, except such as have resulted from transactions
contrary to the laws of the Allied Power concerned; (v)
obligations of Japan or Japanese nationals, any right, title or
interest in tangible property located in Japan, interests in
enterprises organized under the laws of Japan, or any paper evidence
thereof; provided that this exception shall only apply to
obligations of Japan and its nationals expressed in Japanese
currency. (III)
Property referred to in exceptions (i) through (v) above shall be
returned subject to reasonable expenses for its preservation and
administration. If any such property has been liquidated the
proceeds shall be returned instead. (IV)
The right to seize, retain, liquidate or otherwise dispose of
property as provided in subparagraph (I) above shall be exercised in
accordance with the laws of the Allied Power concerned, and the
owner shall have only such rights as may be given him by those laws.
(V)
The Allied Powers agree to deal with Japanese trademarks and
literary and artistic property rights on a basis as favorable to
Japan as circumstances ruling in each country will permit. (b)
Except as otherwise provided in the present Treaty, the Allied
Powers waive
all reparations claims of the Allied Powers, other claims of the
Allied Powers and their nationals arising out of any actions taken
by Japan and its nationals in the course of the prosecution of the
war, and claims of the Allied Powers for direct military costs of
occupation. (a)
Upon application made within nine months of the coming into force of
the present Treaty between Japan and the Allied Power concerned,
Japan will, within six months of the date of such application,
return the property, tangible and intangible, and all rights or
interests of any kind in Japan of each
Allied Power and its nationals which was within Japan at any time between
7 December 1941 and 2 September 1945, unless the owner has freely
disposed thereof without duress or fraud. Such property shall be
returned free of all encumbrances and charges to which it may have
become subject because of the war, and without any charges for its
return. Property whose return is not applied for by or on behalf of
the owner or by his Government within the prescribed period may be
disposed of by the Japanese Government as it may determine. In cases
where such property was within Japan on 7 December 1941, and cannot
be returned or has suffered injury or damage as a result of the war,
compensation will be made on terms not less favorable than the terms
provided in the draft Allied Powers Property Compensation Law
approved by the Japanese Cabinet on 13 July 1951. (b)
With respect to industrial property rights impaired during the war,
Japan will continue to accord to the Allied Powers and their
nationals benefits no less than those heretofore accorded by Cabinet
Orders No. 309 effective 1 September 1949, No. 12 effective 28
January 1950, and No. 9 effective 1 February 1950, all as now
amended, provided such nationals have applied for such benefits
within the time limits prescribed therein. (c)
(i) Japan acknowledges that the literary and artistic property
rights which existed in Japan on 6 December 1941, in respect to the
published and unpublished works of the Allied Powers and their
nationals have continued in force since that date, and recognizes
those rights which have arisen, or but for the war would have
arisen, in Japan since that date, by the operation of any
conventions and agreements to which Japan was a party on that date,
irrespective of whether or not such conventions or agreements were
abrogated or suspended upon or since the outbreak of war by the
domestic law of Japan or of the Allied Power concerned. (ii)
Without the need for application by the proprietor of the right and
without the payment of any fee or compliance with any other
formality, the period from 7 December 1941 until the coming into
force of the present Treaty between Japan and the Allied Power
concerned shall be excluded from the running of the normal term of
such rights; and such period, with an additional period of six
months, shall be excluded from the time within which a literary work
must be translated into Japanese in order to obtain translating
rights in Japan. Article
16 As
an expression of its desire to indemnify those members of the armed
forces of the Allied Powers who suffered undue hardships while
prisoners of war of Japan, Japan will transfer its assets and those
of its nationals in countries which were neutral during the war, or
which were at war with any of the Allied Powers, or, at its option,
the equivalent of such assets, to the International Committee of the
Red Cross which shall liquidate such assets and distribute the
resultant fund to appropriate national agencies, for the benefit of
former prisoners of war and their families on such basis as it may
determine to be equitable. The categories of assets described in
Article 14(a)2(II)(ii) through (v) of the present Treaty shall be
excepted from transfer, as well as assets of Japanese natural
persons not residents of Japan on the first coming into force of the
Treaty. It is equally understood that the transfer provision of this
Article has no application to the 19,770 shares in the Bank for
International Settlements presently owned by Japanese financial
institutions. Article
17 (a)
Upon the request of any of the Allied Powers, the Japanese
Government shall review and revise in conformity with international
law any decision or order of the Japanese Prize Courts in cases
involving ownership rights of nationals of that Allied Power and
shall supply copies of all documents comprising the records of these
cases, including the decisions taken and orders issued. In any case
in which such review or revision shows that restoration is due, the
provisions of Article 15 shall apply to the property concerned. (b)
The Japanese Government shall take the necessary measures to enable
nationals of any of the Allied Powers at any time within one year
from the coming into force of the present Treaty between Japan and
the Allied Power concerned to submit to the appropriate Japanese
authorities for review any judgment given by a Japanese court
between 7 December 1941 and such coming into force, in any
proceedings in which any such national was unable to make adequate
presentation of his case either as plaintiff or defendant. The
Japanese Government shall provide that, where the national has
suffered injury by reason of any such judgment, he shall be restored
in the position in which he was before the judgment was given or
shall be afforded such relief as may be just and equitable in the
circumstances. Article
18 (a)
It is recognized that the intervention of the state of war has not
affected the obligation to pay pecuniary debts arising out of
obligations and contracts (including those in respect of bonds)
which existed and rights which were acquired before the existence of
a state of war, and which are due by the Government or nationals of
Japan to the Government or nationals of one of the Allied Powers, or
are due by the Government or nationals of one of the Allied Powers
to the Government or nationals of Japan. The intervention of a state
of war shall equally not be regarded as affecting the obligation to
consider on their merits claims for loss or damage to property or
for personal injury or death which arose before the existence of a
state of war, and which may be presented or re-presented by the
Government of one of the Allied Powers to the Government of Japan,
or by the Government of Japan to any of the Governments of the
Allied Powers. The provisions of this paragraph are without
prejudice to the rights conferred by Article 14. (b)
Japan affirms its liability for the prewar external debt of the
Japanese State and for debts of corporate bodies subsequently
declared to be liabilities of the Japanese State, and expresses its
intention to enter into negotiations at an early date with its
creditors with respect to the resumption of payments on those debts;
to encourage negotiations in respect to other prewar claims and
obligations; and to facilitate the transfer of sums accordingly. Article
19 (a)
Japan waives all claims of Japan and its nationals against the
Allied Powers and their nationals arising out of the war or out of
actions taken because of the existence of a state of war, and waives
all claims arising from the presence, operations or actions of
forces or authorities of any of the Allied Powers in Japanese
territory prior to the coming into force of the present Treaty. (b)
The foregoing waiver includes any claims arising out of actions
taken by any of the Allied Powers with respect to Japanese ships
between 1 September 1939 and the coming into force of the present
Treaty, as well as any claims and debts arising in respect to
Japanese prisoners of war and civilian internees in the hands of the
Allied Powers, but does not include Japanese claims specifically
recognized in the laws of any Allied Power enacted since 2 September
1945. (c)
Subject to reciprocal renunciation, the Japanese Government also
renounces all claims (including debts) against Germany and German
nationals on behalf of the Japanese Government and Japanese
nationals, including intergovernmental claims and claims for loss or
damage sustained during the war, but excepting (a) claims in respect
of contracts entered into and rights acquired before 1 September
1939, and (b) claims arising out of trade and financial relations
between Japan and Germany after 2 September 1945. Such renunciation
shall not prejudice actions taken in accordance with Articles 16 and
20 of the present Treaty. (d)
Japan recognizes the validity of all acts and omissions done during
the period of occupation under or in consequence of directives of
the occupation authorities or authorized by Japanese law at that
time, and will take no action subjecting Allied nationals to civil
or criminal liability arising out of such acts or omissions. Article
20 Japan
will take all necessary measures to ensure such disposition of
German assets in Japan as has been or may be determined by those
powers entitled under the Protocol of the proceedings of the Berlin
Conference of 1945 to dispose of those assets, and pending the final
disposition of such assets will be responsible for the conservation
and administration thereof. Article
21
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Article 25 of the present Treaty, China shall be
entitled to the benefits of Articles 10 and 14(a)2; and Korea to the
benefits of Articles 2, 4, 9 and 12 of the present Treaty. SETTLEMENT
OF DISPUTES Article
22 If
in the opinion of any Party to the present Treaty there has arisen a
dispute concerning the interpretation or execution of the Treaty,
which is not settled by reference to a special claims tribunal or by
other agreed means, the dispute shall, at the request of any party
thereto, be referred for decision to the International Court of
Justice. Japan and those Allied Powers which are not already parties
to the Statute of the International Court of Justice will deposit
with the Registrar of the Court, at the time of their respective
ratifications of the present Treaty, and in conformity with the
resolution of the United Nations Security Council, dated 15 October
1946, a general declaration accepting the jurisdiction, without
special agreement, of the Court generally in respect to all disputes
of the character referred to in this Article. FINAL
CLAUSES Article
23 (a)
The present Treaty shall be ratified by the States which sign it,
including Japan, and will come into force for all the States which
have then ratified it, when instruments of ratification have been
deposited by Japan and by a majority, including the United States of
America as the principal occupying Power, of the following States,
namely Australia, Canada, Ceylon, France, Indonesia, the Kingdom of
the Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Republic of the
Philippines, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland, and the United States of America. The present Treaty shall
come into force of each State which subsequently ratifies it, on the
date of the deposit of its instrument of ratification. (b)
If the Treaty has not come into force within nine months after the
date of the deposit of Japan's ratification, any State which has
ratified it may bring the Treaty into force between itself and Japan
by a notification to that effect given to the Governments of Japan
and the United States of America not later than three years after
the date of deposit of Japan's ratification. Article
24 All
instruments of ratification shall be deposited with the Government
of the United States of America which will notify all the signatory
States of each such deposit, of the date of the coming into force of
the Treaty under paragraph (a) of Article 23, and of any
notifications made under paragraph (b) of Article 23. Article
25 For
the purposes of the present Treaty the Allied Powers shall be the
States at war with Japan, or any State which previously formed a
part of the territory of a State named in Article 23, provided that
in each case the State concerned has signed and ratified the Treaty.
Subject to the provisions of Article 21, the present Treaty shall
not confer any rights, titles or benefits on any State which is not
an Allied Power as herein defined; nor shall any right, title or
interest of Japan be deemed to be diminished or prejudiced by any
provision of the Treaty in favour of a State which is not an Allied
Power as so defined. Japan
will be prepared to conclude with any State which signed or adhered
to the United Nations Declaration of 1 January 1942, and which is at
war with Japan, or with any State which previously formed a part of
the territory of a State named in Article 23, which is not a
signatory of the present Treaty, a bilateral Treaty of Peace on the
same or substantially the same terms as are provided for in the
present Treaty, but this obligation on the part of Japan will expire
three years after the first coming into force of the present Treaty.
Should Japan make a peace settlement or war claims settlement with
any State granting that State greater advantages than those provided
by the present Treaty, those same advantages shall be extended to
the parties to the present Treaty. Article
27 The
present Treaty shall be deposited in the archives of the Government
of the United States of America which shall furnish each signatory
State with a certified copy thereof. IN
