ウクライナ避難民「旅券なし」受け入れも　日本政府

　政府は２９日の閣議で、ロシアの侵攻から逃れたウクライナ人が日本への避難を希望する際、パスポート（旅券）を所持していなくても受け入れることがあり得るとする答弁書を決定した。立憲民主党の羽田次郎参院議員の質問主意書に答えた。
　答弁書によると、旅券不所持の理由が自己責任でない場合、日本の在外公館で旅券に代わる渡航証明書を発行する。現下の情勢を踏まえ、渡航証明書は短期間で出すという。（2022/03/29-17:53）

The Japanese government said Tuesday that it is possible for the country to accept fleeing Ukrainians even if they do not carry a passport.
   The government expressed this view in a document answering written questions from a lawmaker of the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan. The document was approved at a cabinet meeting on the day.
   According to the document, Japan's diplomatic establishments will issue travel certificates in place of passports to people who do not carry a passport due to reasons other than their own fault.
   Given the current situation in Ukraine, travel certificates will be issued in a short period, the government said.
   Meanwhile, the CDP submitted to the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of Japan's parliament, on Tuesday a bill to enable the country to smoothly accept evacuees from Ukraine and other nations.
