In relation to the Japanese government’s opposition to the Japanese military’s judgment on compensation for victims of comfort women on the 23rd, the government said, “We will work to the end for a smooth solution by consulting with the victims of comfort women, but the Japanese side also expressed a sense of responsibility and the spirit of apology and reflection. Thus, he urged, “We must show genuine efforts to restore the honor and dignity of the victims and heal the wounds of their hearts.”
The government made this statement in its position on the Japanese discourse on the judgment of the comfort women announced today.
The government said, “We acknowledge that the 2015 comfort women agreement is an official agreement between the governments of both Korea and Japan.”
“Accordingly, the government has a policy not to make any additional claims against Japan at the government level, but does not have the right or authority to prevent the victims from raising concerns.”
The government said, “The Japanese government should face that the issue of the victims of comfort women in the Japanese military is a human rights violation of wartime women unprecedented in the world and a problem of universal human rights violations, and is a violation of international laws including international human rights norms.”
Earlier, Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu (茂木敏充) issued a speech shortly after the judgment of compensation for victims of comfort women under the Seoul Central District Act was confirmed on the same day as the defendant of the Japanese government, saying, “(This ruling) is clearly contrary to international law and is very sorry.” “I again strongly demand that appropriate measures be taken to correct violations of international law immediately,” he said.
