２０１３年１２月２６日、安倍晋三首相は靖国神社を参拝しました。

On 26th in December 2013, the Prime Minister ABE Shinzo visited the Yasukuni Shrine as a Japanese Prime Minister andprayed to the war gods who had been the war dead and honored collectively.
礼装し、公用車で靖国神社に向かい、「内閣総理大臣安倍晋三」と記帳し、正式に昇殿参拝しました。これは公式参拝であり、日本国憲法２０条（政教分離）に明らかに違反をしております。私たちは具体的な形で安倍首相に批判の声を届けなければなりません。安倍靖国参拝違憲訴訟を起こしたいと思います。

The Prime Minister Abe rode on his ofﬁcial car with the formal suite and signed on the visiting book as "The Japanese PrimeMinister ABE Shinzo" when he arrived at the Yasukuni Shrine. After that, he walked into the heart of the shrine and prayed to the war
gods. This act is clearly identiﬁed as ofﬁcially visiting and breached the rule of secular politics which is stipulated in Article 20 of theJapanese Constitution. We need to raise our voices to criticize against his visiting by way of our speciﬁc actions; the lawsuit against
Abe's visiting the Yasukuni Shrine.
この訴訟は違憲確認、将来にわたる公式参拝差し止めを求める裁判ですが、「政教分離」だけでなく、平和的生存権はもちろん、「秘密保護法」成立の強行、「集団的自衛権」「武器輸出」推進、その他社会全般に及ぼうとしている安倍内閣の危険な政治を総合的に問う訴訟にしたいという考えも出ております。

The legal purpose of this lawsuit is to conﬁrm the unconstitutionality of the act and to prevent the similar unconstitutional actsin the future. When we criticize the visiting, we would like to focus not only on the breach of "the rule of secular politics", but also onthat of "the right to peace". By this lawsuit, we are willing to totally accuse the recent Abe administration's policies such as the rammed
Japanese Secrecy Act, the conversion about the exercise of collective self-defense right, the arms exportation, and so on.
私たちは、この訴訟提起が、市民が法的な面から直接に安倍内閣に異議申し立てができる数少ない道の一つではないかと考えております。

For the civil society, this lawsuit is a precious way to directly object the Abe administration's policies in terms of legal aspects.

この訴訟に多くの方が加わってくださること（原告、支援の会）が訴訟を強力にする道と思い、呼びかけを送ります。
訴訟は 4 月 21 日
（靖国神社春季例大祭の日）に第一次訴訟を提訴しておりますが、引き続いて第二次訴訟を提起することを予定しています（第二次提訴日は未確定ですが、秋季例大祭の初日 10 月 17 日をめどとしています）。

This letter is to invite you to participate in this lawsuit as a plaintiff or as a supporter. With your participation, the social
inﬂuence of this lawsuit will deﬁnitely become bigger and will make a difference to the Abe administration's policy. The date of ﬁlingof the ﬁrst lawsuit was April 21st, 2014, the ﬁrst day of the Annual Spring Festival, and we have not deﬁnitely decided the date of ﬁlingof the second lawsuit by additional plaintiffs (tentatively scheduled to be ﬁled on October 17, 2014, the ﬁrst day of the Annual AutumnFestival).
安倍首相は「平和を祈って参拝した」などと述べています。今回、安倍首相は、靖国神社の中にある「鎮霊社」にも参拝しました。
鎮霊社は、１８５３年（ペリー来航）以降の全世界の戦争の死者のうち、靖国神社に合祀されていない人々を「慰霊するための施設」

としてつくられたものです。そこは、ヒトラーもアウシュビッツの死者も、靖国神社に合祀されていない空襲や原爆の死者も、等しく「慰霊」する場所なのです。もし靖国神社に合祀されていない故人があなたの親族にいれば、ヒトラーと等しく勝手に「慰霊」されています。

After visiting the Yasukuni Shrine the Prime Minister Abe stated that he just prayed for the peace. Nevertheless the Prime
Minister Abe visited the "Chinrei-Sha", a part of the Yasukuni Shrine, for this time. The "Chinrei-Sha" is a facility to console the souls ofthe war dead who have died during every wars around the world since 1853 and who have not been honored collectively at the Yasukuni
Shrine. Therefore, it means that the Prime Minister Abe prayed at the "Chinrei-Sha" not only for the victims during the Second World
War such as those who were killed by Nuclear Weapons or those who were killed by the genocide at the Auschwitz concentration camps,but also for Adolf Hitler at the same time. If you have any relatives or ancestors who were killed during any wars and not honored
collectively, the Prime Minister Abe prayed for her or him as equally as Adolf Hitler without any permission of yours.
この会は東京で立ち上げましたが、東京や首都圏だけの方でなく、全国どこからでも原告になれます。外国籍の方も原告になれます。

This support group was established in Tokyo. But anyone can be a plaintiff of this lawsuit regardless of your origin ornationality.

Ｑ＆Ａ…違憲訴訟の原告になるということ
Q&A The participation in the class litigation against
Abe's visiting Yasukuni War Shrine
安倍靖国参拝違憲訴訟の会・東京Q. 何を求めている訴訟ですか？
Q. What is the purpose of this class litigation?
２０１３年１２月２６日、安倍晋三首相が、靖国神社に参拝したことについて、日本国憲法に違反していることを問う裁判です。被告は、安倍晋三、国、靖国神社です。
This is a lawsuit to stop the Prime Minister Abe's next visiting the Yasukuni Shrine in the future. The defendant is the Japanese
Government, Shinzo Abe, and the Yasukuni Shrine.
①

安倍首相の２０１３年１２月２６日靖国神社参拝では、礼装し、公用車を使い「内閣総理大臣・安倍晋三」と記帳し正式に昇殿参拝しました。これは公式参拝であり、日本国憲法２０条（政教分離＝国及びその機関は、宗教教育その他いかなる宗教的活動もしてはならない）に違反しております。これについて、裁判所に確認を求めます。
The Prime Minister Abe rode on his ofﬁcial car with the formal suite and signed on the visiting book as "The Japanese Prime

Minister ABE Shinzo" when he arrived at the Yasukuni Shrine. After that, he walked into the heart of the shrine and prayed to the war
gods. This act is clearly identiﬁed as ofﬁcially visiting and breached the rule of secular politics which is stipulated in Article 20 of theJapanese Constitution. The ﬁrst legal purpose of this lawsuit is to conﬁrm the unconstitutionality of the visiting.

②

安倍氏に対し、公式参拝を即刻やめるよう「公式参拝さしとめ」を求めます。

③

安倍氏の行為が「政教分離」だけでなく、「秘密保護法」の強行採決、「集団的自衛権の推進」など、憲法の、

The second legal purpose is to prevent his next formal visit to the Yasukuni Shrine.

市民の平和的生存権を脅かし個人の生命、自由、幸福追求の権利を阻害していることについて、総合的に問いただします。
When we criticize the visiting, we would like to focus not only on the breach of "the rule of secular politics", but also on that of"the right to peace". By this lawsuit, we are willing to totally accuse the recent Abe administration's policies such as the rammed Japanese
Secrecy Act, the conversion about the exercise of collective self-defense right, the arms exportation, and so on.

また首相の参拝は、過去の侵略戦争を反省せず、それが自存自衛の戦いであったことを表明し、戦争指導者を含め戦死者を祭神として顕彰（褒め称える）し続ける特異な戦争神社である靖国神社を、国として公式に認めたことを意味します。そのような首相の姿勢が平和主義に反することを検証します。そして靖国神社そのものを問いただします。
By Abe's visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, the Japanese government would be regarded to have afﬁrmed the beliefs of the Yasukuni

shrine. The Yasukuni Shrine has never admitted the past Japan's wars against Asian countries during 1930s and 1940s as aggressive wars
but identiﬁed the wars as defensive wars and wars for independence. Moreover, the war shrine has honored all the war dead including thewar leaders as war gods and worshiped them as gods. We would like to declare that such Prime Minister's stance breached Japan's policy
oriented towards the peace. Plus, we would like to question the reason of existence of the Yasukuni Shrine itself.

④

この違憲行為によって、原告が受けた精神的損害について原告一人当たり１万円を請求します。

▽このような裁判で損害賠償の、金額はいくらなどといわれると、不審に思う人もあるかもしれません。安倍晋三の違憲行為については怒っているが、それがいくらの金かと言われてもいくらと言えるものではないという方もありましょうし、金など目的でない、と思う方もおられるでしょう。しかし、残念ながら、現在の法律では、損害賠償裁判でしか、違憲裁判は行えません。
We are demanding 10,000 yen for each plaintiff as compensation for his mental damages by Abe's visiting. Some may question themonetary valuation and question on demanding the monetary compensation itself, but we have to demand some monetary compensation in order tomake a lawsuit in Japan.

Q. どんな人が原告に参加しているのですか？
Q. Who are the plaintiff members?
全くさまざまです。有名人、無名人、宗教者、非宗教者どんな方でも構いません。外国人、在日、或いは日本人で外国に滞在している人もＯＫです。すでに韓国人の方で靖国合祀取り下げ訴訟を行った方も参加されます。
Many different kinds of people have participated in this class litigation. We welcome those who are famous or not, as wellas those who have own religion or not. Those who live in other countries or those who came to Japan from other countries are alsowelcomed. Japanese who live in other countries surely may participate in the lawsuit too. Some Koreans who had made litigations
against the collective honor of the war dead to the Yasukuni Shrine have already joined as members of plaintiffs of this lawsuit.
Q. 訴訟団とはなんですか？
Q. What is"the lawsuit member?"
原告団、支援者、弁護団を含めて、訴訟団とよんでいます。
We call the group of plaintiffs, supporters and lawyers who are involved in this class litigation as "the lawsuit member".
Q. 大阪でも同じような訴訟が行われていると聞きましたが？
Q. What is the relationship to the similar litigation at the Osaka District Court?
小泉元首相の靖国参拝が行われた時は、東京、大阪、九州など６カ所７件の訴訟が行われました。私たちは日本各地で訴訟が行われるといいと思っています。大阪の方が立ち上げが早かったので４月１１日に提訴、東京は４月２１日（靖国神社でもっとも重要な祭事である春季例大祭の初日）に提訴します。原告になるのに居住地は関係ありません。どちらにでも参加できますが、公判の傍聴など考えますと、首都圏の方は東京の訴訟に参加いただければ便利かと思います。
We cooperate with the lawsuit members of Osaka litigation. When a former PM Koizumi Jyunichiro visited the Yasuku
shrine, seven litigations were ﬁled in six areas such as Tokyo, Osaka and Kyushu. In the more areas litigations are made, themore effectively the litigations can make the impact on Abe's policy. You can participate in whichever litigations in Tokyo orOsaka regardless of your address. But we suggest you take part in the Tokyo litigation if you live near Tokyo because it will be
more convenient for you to attend each session at the court.

Q. 原告というと何か怖そうな感じがします。支援の会の方がいいかな、など考えますが……
Q. What is the risk to be a plaintiff?
もちろん、みなさん、いろいろ事情があり、名前が出るのは困るから、など簡単に原告になれないということがあるかもしれません。参拝に関して直接異議申し立てをできるのは、この訴訟の「原告」であることをぜひ考えてください。原告は「意見書」を出すことができます。もちろん書かなくてもいいのですが。ご自分の安倍氏に対する異議申し立てを、自分の言葉で書けるチャンスです。
We understand that it is difﬁcult for some persons to open their names as plaintiffs. However, please consider of thefact that there is no other way to express you objection directly against Abe's visiting Yasukuni Shrine without being a plaintiffof this class litigation. When you become a plaintiff, you can submit your opinion paper if you wish. This is the almost onlychance to write your opinion against Abe's visiting by your own words.
