1946 announcement by Japanese Emperor Hirohito
The Humanity Declaration (人間宣言, Ningen-sengen), also known as the Imperial Rescript on the Construction of a New Japan (新日本建設に関する詔書, Shin Nippon Kensetsu ni Kan suru Shōsho), is an imperial rescript issued by Hirohito, the emperor of Japan, as part of a New Year address on 1 January 1946 at the request of the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers. In the rescript, which started with his citation of the Five Charter Oath of 1868, the Emperor denied the concept of his divinity, which would eventually lead to the promulgation of the new Constitution, under which the Emperor is "the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people".
