核の共有、議論必要　「タブー視してはならぬ」―安倍元首相

　自民党の安倍晋三元首相は２７日のフジテレビ番組で、米国の核兵器受け入れ国が使用に際して意思決定に加わるニュークリア・シェアリング（核兵器の共有）に言及し、「非核三原則はあるが、この世界はどのように安全が守られているかという現実について、議論していくことをタブー視してはならない」と述べた。
　安倍氏は「被爆国として核を廃絶する目標は掲げなければいけないし、それに向かって進んでいくことは大切だ」とも強調した。（2022/02/27-11:26）

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Sunday called for a debate over nuclear arms, referring to the concept of nuclear sharing, in which a nuclear state allows allies without such weapons to share them and take part in the decision-making process when they are used.
   "While Japan has three nonnuclear principles, holding discussions on the reality about how the world's safety has been protected should not be considered to be a taboo," he said in a television program.
   As the world's only nation attacked with nuclear weapons, "Japan must have a goal of eliminating nuclear arms, and it's important for us to move toward the goal," Abe also said.
   The three nonnuclear principles call on Japan not to possess or produce nuclear weapons, and not allow them in Japan's territory. The city of Hiroshima, western Japan, and the southwestern city of Nagasaki were devastated by the U.S. atomic bombings in August 1945 in the closing days of World War II.
   On Japan-Russia joint economic activities at four northwestern Pacific islands at the center of the two countries' long-standing territorial dispute, Abe said that now is not the time to advance the projects in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
