The Resolution to Renew the Determination for Peace on the Basis of Lessons Learned from History (歴史を教訓に平和への決意を新たにする決議, Rekishi o Kyōkun ni Heiwa he no Ketsui o Arata ni suru Ketsugi), also known as Fusen Ketsugi, is a Diet Resolution (国会決議, Kokkai Ketsugi) issued by the House of Representatives of Japan on June 9, 1995:

The original draft of the resolution that was submitted by Japan Socialist Party contained stronger expressions of apology. However, it was weakened by Liberal Democratic Party with whom Japan Socialist Party formed a coalition cabinet.

Out of 502 representatives, 251 participated in the final vote on the revised resolution, and 230 of them supported the resolution; 241 representatives abstained from voting; 70 absentees belonged in one of the three parties in the coalition cabinet that sponsored the resolution (Japan Socialist Party, Liberal Democratic Party, and New Party Sakigake).

  • 14 members of the Japanese Communist Party voted against the resolution because they wanted much stronger expressions in the resolution.
  • 50 members of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party did not participate because the expressions in the revised resolution were still too strong for them.
  • 14 members of the Japan Socialist Party did not participate because the expressions were not strong enough for them.
  • 141 members of New Frontier Party abstained from voting, some of whom wanted stronger expressions.
