July 1, 2014, Tokyo,Japan - Carrying placards and banners, thousands of protesters gather outside Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's office in Tokyo to show their opposition to a historic move to lift a self-imposed ban on exercising the right to collective self-defense on Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Abe's Cabinet is set to approve a reinterpretation of Article 9 of the nation's U.S.-drafted post-World War II constitution, which renounces war. Under the new rules, Japan's military would be allowed to exercise the right to "collective self-defense." The change is intended to allow Japan to defend friendly nations that come under attack.
