KCNA flails decision of Japanese Supreme Court
KCNA
Pyongyang, April 2 (KCNA) -- The Supreme Court of Japan on March 25 ruled that there is no need for the Japanese government to compensate the former comfort women, thus turning down the 1998 Simonoseki suit which admitted Japan's state responsibility and compensation for them.
By rejecting the suit which had been left unsettled for 5 years, Japan laid bare before the international community its true colors as a hideous criminal.
Japan forced more than 200,000 Korean women into sexual slavery for the Japanese imperial army in the past. This was the most despicable, merciless and hideous crime in human history.
The supreme court which claims to represent the state called Japan by law went so shameless and irresponsible that it asserted before the international community that there is no need to compensate the former comfort women. This only betrays the moral vulgarity of Japan and the mean nature of Japanese politics in the 21st century.
For the past half a century since the end of the pacific war Japan has made neither apology nor compensation to the Korean women in the north and the south, the biggest victims.
We can not but express our bitterest indignation and wrath against the Japanese court which made such a shameless decision.
It is a well-known fact that the un and various other international organizations convicted Japan of violating international law, terming the sexual slavery committed by imperial Japan as a state-sponsored organized rape and asserted the Japanese government's responsibility to make compensation for it.
However, Japan has not responded to those just demands and advices but gone to the lengths of dismissing the suit, thus adding to the crimes it committed by violating the rights and dignity of sexual slaves.
The reality goes to clearly prove that Japan has no willingness to redress its crime-ridden past.
Japan is well advised to properly handle the issue of the comfort women for the Japanese imperial army, clearly understanding that it can not become a full-fledged member of the international community unless it redeems its past crimes.
