IV. Contributions in Kind

   By defining the scope of Japan's contribution to UN peacekeeping operations, the International Peace Cooperation Law states that Japan can contribute by dispatching personnel and Self-Defense Forces contingents as well as by contributing in kind.

   To date, Japan has made contributions in kind to UNTAC, ONUMOZ, the UNHCR, and UNDOF.
