シーファー米駐日大使が、"We recognize that Japan has special considerations ... because of constitutional issues," he said. "It's not as easy for them to participate in the sanctions regime as for others. "I'm confident that Japan will be able to figure out a way to participate in a meaningful way that will sent a strong message to North Korea that this is not the path to take."
（日本には憲法の制約の問題があることは理解している。日本がこの制裁措置に参加するということは他の国とは違って簡単なことではない。もっとも、私は日本が北朝鮮に対して強いメッセージを送るための何らかの方策を見出すであろう事には懸念を持っていない。）
と、発言。
9条のせい（おかげ？）で、もっとも制裁を課したいと思っている日本は実際の制裁を行いにくく、制裁を避けたいと思っている韓国にはそういった言い訳が無いというねじれ現象になっている。

TOKYO (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to Japan Thomas Schieffer said on Monday a return by North Korea to stalled six-party talks on its nuclear program would not be sufficient to end United Nations sanctions.
"A return to six-party talks kind of doesn't do it," Schieffer said. "You have to come to the six-party talks and agree on how you are going to implement the September 19 agreement.
"If that implementation could then be verified by the international community, I think you would see walking back from the sanctions regime," he said.
But he added, "This is long way to go."
North Korea agreed in principle at six-party talks in September 2005 to scrap its nuclear arms programs in return for aid, security assurances and promises of better diplomatic ties.
Talks among the two Koreas, Japan, the United States, China and Russia were held again in November 2005 on implementing that deal, but Pyongyang has since boycotted the discussions.
A weekend U.N. Security Council resolution imposing financial and weapons sanctions on North Korea for its claimed nuclear test allows nations to stop cargo going to and from North Korea in order to check for weapons of mass destruction or related supplies.
Japan is now debating how it can take part in such inspections within the scope of its pacifist constitution.
Schieffer said the United States expected Japan to play a "substantial role" in implementing the U.N.-sponsored sanctions.
"We recognize that Japan has special considerations ... because of constitutional issues," he said. "It's not as easy for them to participate in the sanctions regime as for others.
"I'm confident that Japan will be able to figure out a way to participate in a meaningful way that will sent a strong message to North Korea that this is not the path to take."
The U.N. resolution bars trade with North Korea in dangerous weapons, imposes bans on heavy conventional weapons and luxury goods, and asks nations to freeze funds connected with North Korea's nonconventional arms programs.
Japan has already imposed sanctions including a six-month ban on all imports from the reclusive communist state, and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Sunday that Tokyo was considering additional measures.
