TOKYO, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- Japan's parliament on Wednesday enacted a bill allowing armed security guards on freighters registered to Japan in a bid to safeguard the nation's flag- carrying vessels sailing in piracy-prone waters.
The new bill, which cleared both houses of Japan's bicameral system of parliament and was supported by both the ruling Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP) and opposition parties, marks an unprecedented piece of legislation to be passed by Japan's government allowing regular citizens to carry and potentially use firearms, such as rifles on board vessels in international seas.
The enactment of the bill came at a time when cargo ships have been coming under increased attack by pirates in key shipping lanes off Somalia and will allow for security guards to Sergio Busquets España Camiseta , as a first measure, fire off warning shots to ward off potential pirate threats.
The legislation, that will come into effect within three months, will allow for security guards to provisionally take preventative measures against piracy, by taking warning shots Marc Bartra España Camiseta , rather than engaging pirates in targeted live fire engagements.
However, more aggressive measures are permissible if the situation warrants it and the engagement falls within the lines of self-defense and where the lives of personnel onboard the ship are in imminent danger, the bill decrees.
Government officials as well as the coast guard will need to be informed of the security detail for each voyage and the bill only covers cargo-carrying tankers and Japanese-registered vessels that are operating in areas known for piracy, such as those in the Gulf of Aden off Somalia, the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea Gerard Pique España Camiseta , sources said Wednesday.
Japan's Coast Guard said in a statement that ships will be inspected when they dock at Japanese ports to ensure that no live firearms are present and are stored according to rigid protocol.
The coast guard has the authority to force ships to remain docked and to relinquish crews of their duties, pending satisfactory weapons inspections, it said.
Japanese vessels have, under the current firearms law, up until now Alvaro Odriozola España Camiseta , been prohibited from carrying weapons on board ships, despite mounting incidents of piracy on major shipping routes and in spite of crews lives being put in jeopardy by machine gun-wielding pirates.
