Japan joined the United Nations 11 years after its founding, in 1956.
Japan's has been the second largest financial contribute to the UN, only after the United States, for almost three decades.
Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe (seen on the left)
affirmed his government's dedication to nation-building
through "fostering human resources, offering utmost in
humanitarian assistance and upholding women's rights."
2017 witnessed Japan serving their eleventh term as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, more frequent than any other member of the UN state. Achieving the 60th anniversary of Japan's accession in 2016, Japan has recently been taking more initiative in matter of the organization by putting greater effort into achieving the diplomatic goals of the UN. These goals cannot be achieved by one country alone, but by further strengthening the organization, and responding to global issues, this is expressed to be a step in the right direction. Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, promised that Japan would continue devoting this effort to strengthening the UN in the next 60 years to come as well.
Being the only country to have experienced the devastation of atomic bombings, the country has also taken a firm stance against such action, calling the importance of disarment and non-proliferation, bringing this to the attention of the international community. This has led to Japan gaining appreciation and trust from many.
