Although the prime minister said Shinzo Abe an emergency situation, due to the civil in the Constitution of Japan after the war enshrined freedom the government can not send the police to people clear the streets, in some places such as France, Italy and the UK powerful implementing measure as the country could happen audience obedience – and that may be enough. 1. Japan is to explain to an emergency situation? political leaders of the Party of Japan to say “no”. As of Wednesday, Japan had very few confirmed infections among Group of Seven major economies at about 2,000 to ‘height to about 188,000 in the United States – in spite of the first countries outside the original epicenter of China is to get confirmed cases . The Abe government has said it may make a difference, infection levels would shoot and strains appeared in the medical system. While the governor of Tokyo Yuriko Koike asked the government to come to a decision, Abe said Wednesday there is no need to declare an emergency at this point. 2. What would a declaration of emergency? If Abe to declare an emergency situation in a particular region, the main effect would be to increase the powers of the prefect. The prevalence of the virus is very different among the 47 prefectures. Under a rescue unnecessary travel governor would have been avoided, it can push the local population, but residents would have the right, the request must be ignored, and there are no penalties for disobedience. The police would not be involved in enforcement, according to the lawyer koju Nagai Response Law Firm in Kobe. While Koike last week warned that a “closure” may be, they may not restrict the movements of people really. making companies may be asked to close, and ordered, so if they are not compatible with the application, but again there are no sanctions for non-compliance. The sanctions, however, are given to a small number of offenses, including hiding deliveries that were seized by local authorities. 3. People will obey the requests? The governors of Tokyo and the surrounding prefectures asked people who did not have to be the last weekend at home to be and many have done just that. A survey by the Nikkei newspaper published Monday showed 83% of respondents said they would, compared to 43% to avoid a month ago.

Banks should remain open under a declaration of emergency, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange said it will continue to function. 5. Japan could possibly take a harder line? While England has just introduced a fine of about $75 for individuals injury Lockdown rules and Hong Kong has warned residents of the indictment quarantine measures for violations, any attempt to insert the teeth on the Japanese law would increase anger in the land where painful memories of the first 20th century authoritarianism Linger. The Federation of Japanese against the legislation under which it can be declared an emergency situation, even though most of its provisions are not applicable. “They were abused emergencies much in Japan before the war,” said Nagai lawyer. “Japan has been hurt by the past. Freedom were limited, and if these freedoms are limited, it is difficult to restore them.”
