Abstract

The Gulf Crisis in 1990, set Japan making United Nations Peace Cooperation Bill to realize theSelf-Defense Force (SDF) dispatch. This report will clarify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) initiatives regarding this bill and its limitation. <br>  Concerning the SDF dispatch, Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu who insisted on adjustment of the SDF status, deepened conflicts with the Defense Agency and the Liberal Democratic Party executive machine which insisted on cooperation as the existing SDF status. To address this situation, MOFA coordinated approaches by giving concurrent post to the SDF and control by the Prime Minister. <br>  However, the bill of MOFA was accompanied by a reverse effect, prompting decline of political centripetal force of Kaifu as they failed persuading the opposition party under the twisted diet. This resulted in withdrawal of the bill and stagnation of the “International Cooperation Initiative” that was originally the aim of Kaifu and MOFA.
