We, acting by command of and on behalf of the Emperor of Japan, the Japanese
Government and the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters, hereby accept the
provisions in the declaration issued by the heads of the Governments of the
United States, China, and Great Britain 26 July 1945 at Potsdam, and
subsequently adhered to by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which
four powers are hereafter referred to as the Allied Powers.
We hereby proclaim the unconditional surrender to the Allied Powers of the
Japanese Imperial General Headquarters and of all Japanese Armed Forces and
all Armed Forces under Japanese control wherever situated.
We hereby command all Japanese forces wherever situated and the Japanese
people to cease hostilities forthwith, to preserve and save from damage all
ships, aircraft, and military and civil property, and to comply with all
requirements which may be imposed by the Supreme Commander for the Allied
Powers or by agencies of the Japanese Government at his direction.
We hereby command the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters to issue at once
orders to the commanders of all Japanese forces and all forces under Japanese
control wherever situated to surrender unconditionally themselves and all
forces under their control.
We hereby command all civil, military, and naval officials to obey and
enforce all proclamations, orders, and directives deemed by the Supreme
Commander for the Allied Powers to be proper to effectuate this surrender and
issued by him or under his authority; and we direct all such officials to
remain at their posts and to continue to perform their non-combatant duties
unless specifically relieved by him or under his authority.
We hereby undertake for the Emperor, the Japanese Government, and their
successors to carry out the provisions of the Potsdam Declaration in good
faith, and to issue whatever orders and take whatever action may be required
by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers or by any other designated
representative of the Allied Powers for the purpose of giving effect to that
declaration.
We hereby command the Japanese Imperial Government and the Japanese Imperial
General Headquarters at once to liberate all Allied Prisoners of War and
civilian internees now under Japanese control and to provide for their
protection, care, maintenance, and immediate transportation to places as
directed.
The authority of the Emperor and the Japanese Government to rule the State
shall be subject to the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, who will
take such steps as he deems proper to effectuate these terms of surrender.
