With respect to the Treaty of Peace signed this day, the Government of Japan
makes the following Declaration:
1. Except as otherwise
provided in the said Treaty of Peace, Japan recognizes the full force of all presently
effective multilateral international instruments to which Japan was a party on September

resume all its rights and obligations under those instruments. Where, however,
participation in any instrument involves membership in an international organization of
which Japan ceased to be a member on or after September 1, 1939, the provisions of the
present paragraph shall be dependent on Japan's readmission to membership in the
organization concerned.
