New Korean President and the "Comfort Women" resolution
South Korea elected its new president, Moon Jae-in, in place of Park Geun-hye who has been impeached on charges of corruption and abuse of power.
During the first phone call with Japanese Prime Minister Abe who pressed him to conform to the 2015 "Comfort Women" deal, President Moon said that "Majority of South Korean people find it difficult to accept the Agreement," indicating a possible cancellation or renegotiation of the deal.
In fact, the 2015 "Comfort Women" Agreement was merely a verbal announcement by the Foreign Ministers at a joint press conference, which did not produce a signed document. Further, due to its content that is intended to put muzzle on the victims' mouth and erase the "Comfort Women" history, enraging the victims and supporters around the globe, the Agreement can hardly be justified based on the international standards for the resolution of similar war crimes.
In March of 2016, UN's CEDAW (Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) issued an observation report that strongly criticized Japanese government's attempt to silence the victims and evade its responsibility using the Japan-S.Korea Agreement. Last week, UN's Committee Against Torture recommended the governments of S.Korea and Japan to renegotiate the terms of the Agreement since the remedies in the Agreement is insufficient.
So, if the Agreement gets canceled, then what?
Actually, the answer has been there all along - the 7 demands of the activist Grandmas for the past two decades: Official acknowledgement and apology by the Japanese government, legal compensation, thorough investigation of the crime, punishment of the criminals, teaching of this history in Japanese schools, building memorials and museums to remember.
One crucial point is that this time, a bilateral agreement between the two countries won't fix the problems of the previous Agreement. The "Comfort Women" issue is a Crime Against Humanity and a war crime where hundreds of thousands of women and children from more than a dozen countries were victimized that the willing victims from ALL victim countries must be included in the negotiation this time.
On Saturday, May 20th at 11am, we will gather in front of the Peace Monument in Glendale to remember the two recently passed activist Grandmas from China and Taiwan. They both fought Japanese government, demanding their dignity be restored by official acknowledgement of the government responsibility for the sexual slavery they went through.
It is urgent that we see a resolution of this issue before another victim passes away.
Please come and joint us
