Very troubling to read about the context in which Dr. Mukwege carries his work. The prevalence of sexual violence and the attacks on those trying to prevent it should get the international community to act in the strongest way!

It's not too late for a "victim-centered" solution. Seoul should approach Tokyo about taking “comfort women” issues to the ICJ. We don't have time to worry whether Japan will accept or reject. If we don't take this chance, we won't have another one.

, talks of inscribing “comfort women” records are renewing. But Japan’s far-right paper, the Sankei Shimbun, has already opined the records will be rejected. Japan is the 2nd largest contributor to UNESCO & threatened to withdraw funding.

위안부자료 세계유산 등재될까…日신문 "사실상 가능성 없다"
https://yna.co.kr/view/AKR20210402037600073?input=tw…
일본군 위안부 동원 관련 자료는 유네스코(UNESCO) 세계기록유산으로 등재되지 못할 것이라는 관측이 일본 측에서 나오고 있습니다.
Yesterday, it was removal of the Kono Statement from Japan’s Foreign Ministry website, replaced by “‘comfort women’ are ‘prostitutes.’” Today, it is distortion of history books. Tomorrow, it will be destroying memorials — by
Concerned that there is going to be a forced agreement (by the Biden Administration) between S. Korea and Japan, which leads to the silencing of the former comfort women. Let's hope I'm wrong, but I'm getting 2015 vibes from this.
Japan’s responsibility for ‘comfort women’ is avoided by the state and written out of national histories. Activists are working to make Japan confront its past.
From the April issue:
We certainly are not against presenting the government’s position per se on territorial issues. But a new generation of Japanese need to know what their counterparts think and value if they are to be encouraged to “collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds.” —
Interesting how Ambassador Tomita acknowledges that issues such as “comfort women” have damaged ROK-JPN relations but at the same time says those issues are unrelated. Is it “history” when survivors are still alive and the Ramseyer paper is an extension of Japan govt’s position?

Bosnian law prohibits defendants from introducing evidence of consent in war crimes cases. The law presumes what the trial judges ruled: that the coercive circumstances present during an armed conflict presume non-consent. [But] the conviction in Selma’s case was overturned.

An encounter with a solider during the Bosnian war produced an allegation of rape, a test of international justice, and a baby, abandoned at birth. http://ellemag.co/mrNGPk1
It will take sustained pressure to bring about prosecutions for mass rape, whether in a U.N. tribunal, a hybrid court, or the Int’l Criminal Court. But should it happen, it will rely on the precedent set by the effort to prosecute rape as a war crime in the former Yugoslavia.

"Using evidence & facts will not convince comfort women deniers, in much the same way that one cannot logically argue with climate change deniers, Holocaust deniers, & the like...We must ask what underlying assumptions & conditions exist that allow historical denial to flourish."

"한일협정이나 위안부 합의가 문제가 된다는 것은 결국 위안부 문제를 돈 문제로 보기 때문이다. 할머니들이 30년째 외치는 것은 '돈이 아닌 사죄'임에도 여전히 배상이 논의에 초점이다. ICJ 회부는 '전쟁범죄, 반인도 범죄'에 대한 사실관계를 따져보자는 것이다."

One more thing: reparations and apologies have not been given to women in every country that comfort women were brutalized, including the Philippines. Not answering comments on this string 1) denying comfort women’s existence or 2) saying justice has been served.
Google it.
Justice for all comfort women! My grandmother, my lola, was taken from her home in Bataan and systematically raped. She was a comfort woman who died without an apology or any kind of reparations. The very least Japan can do is acknowledge & apologize for these heinous acts. twitter.com/ajplus/status/…
