| Content | Recommendation 1: Together with European and other countries, Japan has requested the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate Russia for war crimes and violations of international treaties. The Japanese government should provide full support to the ICC investigation. In addition, it should play a leading role in international efforts to identify and address shortcomings in the existing international conventions banning military attacks on nuclear facilities, in particular, expediting efforts to identify the true nature of the Russian attacks on nuclear facilities by drawing on the experience and lessons of the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station operated by Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. (TEPCO). Recommendation 2: The Japanese government should reconsider the current assumptions regarding the physical protection of nuclear facilities in Japan and call on the international community to work together to step up efforts to further strengthen nuclear security. Recommendation 3: In light of the loss of Russian credibility in the international community, it is imperative to explore a new framework for international cooperation in order to ensure the safety of the existing nuclear facilities and secure nuclear fuel supply capabilities. Japan needs to become involved in this international effort by identifying areas where it can contribute.
