What was the 1945 Allied proclamation that set surrender terms for Japan called?

The Allied proclamation that set surrender terms for Japan was called the Potsdam Declaration.

The United States, the United Kingdom, and China issued the declaration on 26 July 1945 during the Potsdam Conference. It called on Japan to proclaim the unconditional surrender of its armed forces and warned of “prompt and utter destruction” if Japan refused. The Soviet Union was not yet at war with Japan when the declaration was issued.

The document also outlined a postwar framework. Japan’s sovereignty was to be limited to the main home islands and other islands determined by the Allies, while Japanese forces would be disarmed and allowed to return home. It promised that the Japanese people would not be enslaved or destroyed as a nation.

Japan did not immediately accept the proclamation. After the atomic bombings, the Soviet declaration of war, and internal political debate, the Japanese government accepted its terms in August. Hirohito referred to acceptance of the “joint declaration” in his radio address.
