government has to downplay news about mortar attacks
on the GDSF Samawah base camp, as such again would
unleash criticism that the SDF is dispatched in a combat

brings the SDF into greater interoperability with US
forces and breaches the limits on collective defense
posed by Article 9. Most academics I have interviewed

that collective self-defense has been long practiced.
The problem is the government’s stubborn refusal
to reinterpret the constitutionality of collective selfdefense.
12 New Komeito agreed as early as 1999 in a 3-party
panel with LDP and New Conservative Party to take
legislative steps to unfreeze PKO functions, but reneged
on that promise because LDP did not support its
proposal to return to multi seat constituency.
