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), Imperial Rescript on National Revitalization (年頭、国運振興の詔書, Nentō, Kokuun Shinkō no Shōsho), and Imperial Rescript Denying His Divinity,[1] is an imperial rescript issued by the Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito) as part of a New Year's statement on 1 January 1946 at the request of the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (abbr. SCAP; also known as General Headquarters, or GHQ). In the rescript, which started with his citation of the Five Charter Oath of 1868,[2] the Emperor denied the concept of his being a living god, 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".[3]
