Japan's Dream: The bid for non-permanent membership was lost to Bangladesh, and the application for membership was unanimously opposed
The permanent members of the United Nations Security Council are the five victorious countries after World War II, namely China, the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and France, shouldering the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security, with a veto power, so many countries want to become permanent members, the most active is India, Brazil, Germany, Japan these four countries.
Japan is a defeated country in World War II, let alone normal, it is very difficult to join the United Nations, the United Nations was established in 1945, and Japan was only agreed to join in 1956.
There are two kinds of UN members, one is a permanent member, one is a non-permanent member, and for Japan, the first non-permanent member, although it only has a 2-year term, but also has a certain influence, in order to launch a charge against the permanent members.
In 1958, Japan used multiple tactics to finally become one of the non-permanent members. But the United Nations has a large number of member states, one country has served for 2 years, and if it wants to take office, it has to run, but in 1978, the developed Japan lost to the poor Bangladesh.
This defeat will definitely have an impact on Japan's "normalization", but why does Japan have to enter the normal? Because of Japan's defeat in World War II, it was constrained in all aspects, and if it became a permanent member, it would not be restricted, which would be very good for itself.
For example, militarily, Japan can only establish a "self-defense force", can not build an army, this is also to prevent Japan from "going crazy", but also to develop weapons and equipment, the current influence of the United States on Japan is very large, Japan into the normal is also to get rid of the influence of the United States, can make their own decisions.
As Japan's economy became more and more developed, its influence in the world was also evident, so since the 1980s, Japan has been applying for regular admission.
India, Brazil, Germany, And Japan have also formed a special "normal alliance", and Japan has frequently provided aid to Africa, which is a kind of "vote-canvassing" move, and the reason why it lost to Bangladesh is that there are too few countries voting for Japan.
Although Japan has repeatedly submitted applications for regularization, none of them have been approved, because not only China and Russia oppose it, but even the United States, which has good relations with Japan, is also opposed.
How do you become a permanent member of the Un Security Council? There are two necessary conditions, the first is that 2/3 of the un members agree to your regular membership, which is no problem as long as Japan throws money and aid.
But the difficulty is in the second, that is, China, the United States, Russia, Britain, and France all agree to your normalcy, which is impossible. Because the five permanents have a veto power, as long as one disagrees, it is useless.
Therefore, it is more difficult for Japan to enter than to ascend to the heavens. However, Japan's right-wing ideology is serious, it does not respect history, and it has repeatedly had territorial disputes with other countries, which has led to other countries hating Japan, and even the United States has to guard against it.
The United States also wants to restrict Japan all the time, it is the big brother, if Japan becomes normal, it is the little brother who becomes the big brother, where does his big brother still have face.
Judging from the rules of normalization, the wishes of the countries that want to become normal at present are impossible to achieve, and on the issue of normalization, the daily routine of the five permanents is still the same.
