		<description>Even if a very true thing is taught, the taught thing might be a useless thing in 
people who do not believe it. 

It might be a thing the same if the people do not have the international 
agreement either. 

Hereafter, Japan wants to help Asia and Africa where economy has not revived yet. 

It is thought that the selection is an important thing on international. 

A lot of poverties causes various disputes. 

China and South Korea have revived economy enough. It is necessary to hold out by 
our power now. 

There are individually various cases respectively. 
Many have already been examined. 
Moreover, the trial is done. 

It is handful from Cheju Island in forcible as for 200 women. 

And, it made it to the prostitute for a Japanese soldier. 
The thing called these things a lie is not changed.
 
There was other party's of Japanese soldiers prostitute. 
Those women had various circumstances. 
There was Korean persons in that, too. 
It searches for the information part of the U.S.Army in postwar days, and Japan is searching 
afterwards, and more various organizations are and there is an examination. 
Therefore, the novelist confessed that he or she had written the lie. 
This is examined. 
A lot of people might have been poor. 
It is very difficult to show a lot of examined material to this conduct oneself. 
It is because most is being written in Japanese. 
Because I am not good at English, they cannot be translated. 
Is Japanese material acceptable?

Will Japan understand the destination of ODA of Japan is changed more than the material that 
doesn't understand well is fully shown?
The conclusion is it. 

Japan has done very a lot of help of China and South Korea up to now. 

This thing was not being told by people of the two countries. 
The thing might have circumstances of each country. 

However, the thing that Japan helps to  poor countrys of Asia and Africa now is a thing that takes in the 
world and is very important.</description>

		<description>Steve:

After reading the article in the link you posted, I don't think I can be as sanguine about the future prospects of plaintiffs in Japanese courts as you seem to be.  After all, according to the article: "In the end, however, [the court] concluded that because of a lack of justiciability, the statute of limitations, and the Property Rights Measures Law based on the Japan-Korea Treaty on the Right of Claim, the plaintiffs' right to claim compensation had been extinguished."  Notwithstanding the commentary on the inviobility of the state (and here, I think, we are dealing with dicta that the Japanese Supreme Court would reject out of hand, as it does whenever that particular question is presented), it seems the 1965 agreement will continue to block attempts at obtaining relief by affected parties.  Note that the Government must now pay the plaintiffs for what we might call in the U.S. a violation of "equal protection", not for the forced labor exacted from them.

If the plaintiffs had chosen to sue Mitsubishi in California, I imagine the outcome might have been different, as it was with the Holocaust survivors in their suits against VW and Daimler.</description>

		<description>The 19 January Hiroshima Supreme Court verdict in the lawsuit brought by A-bomb victims who had been conscripted as forced laborers at Mitsubishi's Hiroshima Heavy Industries was epoch making. Overturning an earlier ruling, it ordered  the government to pay each appellant 1,200,000 yen. In a series of post-war compensation trials that rejected all claims by the plaintiffs, this was the first ruling to order the government to pay compensation.
&lt;a href="http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=69ItemID=7525" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=69ItemID=7525&lt;/a&gt;
So much for the 1965 agreement. You may note some of the plantiffs had since passed away however compensation was also paid to the deceased victims. It is also significant that the the court rejected the idea that the state is inviolable or immune against legal action on the behalf of those who have been victimized during WWII. I think this is a big precedent.</description>

		<description>It is a Japanese novelist of the name called Seiji Mr Yoshida that produced the word 
said, "Women forced to provide sex for Japanese soldiers at military brothels during 
World War II" first. 

He admitted that the thing being written there was a lie later. 

The thing might not be being told by the person in South Korea. 
When military forces of the home country took a prostitute in foreign countries,What country is making amends to the country where the prostitute was born?

After World War II, the U.S. military information part examines other party's 
of a Japanese army prostitute's realities. 

300?1000 yen ..the broker (And, management is the main)... women
Loan money is paid to parents, and the debt is restored by the income 
in the comfort place.
The income distribution ratio to the manager is 40?
60%. 
It is each money at that time and women's work is 1000?2000 yen in 
month. 
The salary of the soldier of a Japanese army is 25 yen for 15 days. 

World War II ended and 20 years passed. 
The novelization of one person published "Women forced to provide sex 
for Japanese soldiers at military brothels during World War II" in 
the newspaper. 
He admitted that it was a lie being investigated the thing that he 
had written later. 
However, the person in South Korea doesn't know the thing. 
The person in South Korea did not know the thing of Japan-Korea Basic 
Relations Treaty in 1965 for a long time. 
After the event of the Gwangju city, was not the anti-japan education done as for 
South Korea?</description>

		<description>the korean government has, to my knowledge, done very little for the comfort women. i think there are several reasons, including the fact that aiding them would seem to be tacit acknowledgement that it's rok's responsibility and not japan's, plus taking away the women's need would make their case before japan seem less pressing. 

i don't know if park tried to keep the issue under wraps or not, but i can't imagine that in korea of the 1960s that many of these women would have been forthcoming. most, from what i've read or heard (i have met some at 'the house of sharing') were trying desperately to hide and forget about what had happened to them.</description>

		<description>Steve:

Was the compensation you referred to in your post (number 53) paid by the Japanese government or by private companies?  I know there was a suit against Mitsubishi for forced labor, but I don't recall that there was a decision.

In any event, the '65 normalization agreement would not cover private claims made by the individuals affected against Japanese companies or their successors in interest.  Furthermore, the eleventh circuit (U.S.) is increasingly hospitable to claims such as those of the comfort women, so even if Japan's courts refuse to give them a hearing (as they did with the survivors of the Bataan death march), there are alternate venues for seeking redress.

Another question for anyone that cares to answer: for all the talk about "Our Grandmothers", has the RoK government done much for the comfort women since 1965?  The book "Sex Among Allies" seems to suggest that Park and successive governments have been complicit in keeping the issue under wraps, as indeed, were some Koreans in assisting the "recruitment" of comfort women, but I really don't know.  I would appreciate it if you could direct me to any information.</description>
