Agreement between Australia and Japan concerning the Facilitation of Reciprocal Access and Cooperation between the Australian Defence Force and the Self- Defense Forces of JapanSeptember 1st, 2022
The 2022 Agreement between Australia and Japan concerning the Facilitation of Reciprocal Access and Cooperation between the Australian Defence Force and the Self-Defense Forces of Japan (RAA) is a form of Status of Forces Agreement. It addresses multiple international and national legal issues associated with the exchange of forces between the two countries, including land, air and sea forces and the associated civilian component. It seeks to allow Australia and Japan to build a deeper defence relationship. Two particular issues are raised with respect to the RAA as they relate to the freedom of navigation and compulsory pilotage within the Torres Strait, and Japan’s stance on capital punishment. Any irregularities and ambiguities in the RAA and its associated instruments can be resolved by adjustments and modifications prior to ratification, including an additional set of Agreed Minutes.
