• Los problemas de los refugiados pueden parecer a menudo insolubles, pero no lo son. Según nuestra experiencia, hay dos requisitos previos básicos para su solución: la voluntad política de los dirigentes de atajar las causas y apostar por la paz, y la determinación internacional de impulsar la paz y luego consolidarla. Consolidar la paz significa ayudar a las sociedades que salen de la guerra a reintegrar a los refugiados en condiciones de seguridad y dignidad, a reconstruir sus instituciones -también en el ámbito de la justicia y los derechos humanos- y a reanudar su desarrollo económico.

• Japan's diplomatic efforts could have had a broader international perspective. Relations with the U.S. are, of course, the cornerstone of Japan's diplomacy, but the U.S. acts on its global strategy.
