This paper examines the Statement on Air-Hijacking from the 1978 Bonn Summit and its effect on Japan’s anti-hijacking policy. Although the Group of Seven (G7) began as an economic summit, it soon became a forum for both economic and non-economic agendas that were of significant concern to the leaders of member states. Its first official statement on a non-economic issue related to possible sanctions against countries that supported hijackers since the act represented a common danger to the seven countries in the 1970s, and some of them, including Japan, had compromised with hijackers to ensure the safety of hostages. Though it was Japan’s prime minister who began the conversation that ultimately led to the statement against hijacking, the Japanese government did not immediately change its policy after the Bonn Summit. The subsequent follow-up meetings, however, changed Japan’s stance to a hard-line policy due to pressure from the highest level and the accompanying bureaucratic infighting within the Japanese government. This case proved the effectiveness of the G7, which has been disputed in previous studies of this international forum.
