ABSTRACT: After World War II, Japan initiated the peace mission in Cambodia, becoming the first country to deploy its Self-Defense Forces (SDF) in collaboration with the United Nations. Noticeably, Japan was incapacitated from utilizing military force after World War II. Its force is exclusively applicable in the context of a peace mission. This article aims to demonstrate the strong commitment of Japanese leaders, authorities, volunteers, neighboring countries, ASEAN Nations, and the international community to collaborate in resolving the conflict effectively and achieving peace for the citizens of Cambodia.
