to Sono Yoken" (The future of the Japan-U.S. alliance and Japan's choice: Re-redefinition of the alliance and its requirements), Gaiko Forum (Japanese), No. 198(January 2005), pp. 45-46.

Ibid., 46. The existing treaty calls on the parties to take action when an armed attack
takes place against either party within the area under Japanese jurisdiction and the sidesconsider it as a threat against their peace and security.
