Japan's Constitution should serve as a guiding principle for the international community, including Eritrea, which still suffers from the aftermath of civil war, a young jurist from the country said Monday.
"I fully support the (war renouncing) provision of the Japanese Constitution because I believe all nations in the world should strive to attain the (peaceful ideal it advocates), as we are moving toward one nation in globalization," said Zerisenay Debrezion, 26, who graduated from the law program of the University of Asmara, his nation's only institution of higher education.
Debrezion is on a 13-day stay in Tokyo to study Japan's judicial system at the invitation of the Japan-based nongovernmental organization Peace Boat.
