U.N. "We must continue efforts to guarantee the rights of victims of Japan and Japanese Military Sexual Slavery"

Kyodo News reported that the U.N. Commission on the Elimination of Women's Discrimination has advised the Japanese government to continue its efforts to guarantee rights such as claims for compensation in connection with the Japanese military's Japanese Military Sexual Slavery during the Japanese occupation.

The Commission on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women issued its final recommendations on the policy of Japanese women at the United Nations Geneva office.

The committee previously pointed out that the Japanese government's recommendation in March 2016 also did not completely focus on Japanese Military Sexual Slavery victims regarding the 2015 Japanese Military Sexual Slavery agreement between the two countries.

He then emphasized the need to ensure the rights of victims to demand truth, justice and compensation, and to pursue a solution that fits their position.

At the same time, he ordered the inclusion of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery issues in textbooks and ensuring that many students and the general public know objective and historical facts.

However, in April 2021, the Japanese government adopted the view that it was appropriate to simply use the term "Japanese Military Sexual Slavery," saying that using the term "military comfort women" could be misleading.

After the Japanese government adopted this view to dilute the coercion of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery mobilization, more Japanese textbooks that passed government verification denied the coercion of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery mobilization.
