justice for force workers

it is now governments' turn to respond..

it was a landmark decision by any standars. the Supreme court's ruling Thusrday in favor of eight forced laborers seeking compensation form japanese companies was significant not only legally but also politically and historically..

we wholeheartly welcome the top courts' decision which show, if blately, what the judicature of an independent, self-repecting nation should be

it was fitting that the nation's highest tribunal overtruned rulings by its japanaese counterpart as well as lower Korean courts based on the notion taht the conscription during the colonial peoriod was legitimate. we, along with all Koreans, agree with the corut's decision that such mistaken views "contradict the core valuse of the Republic of Korea's  Constitution"

rightly contradicted Tokyo's allegation and seoul's consent to it that the bilateral treatry of 1965 settled all property claims, including those by individuals, once and for all. the absurdity of such an assertion is obvious even to laypersons, given that  issues of sex slaves and forced workers did not even emerge when the aggrement was signed..

as it is in breach of the "principal of good faith.."

settling historical scores in a rather slapdash way

more symbolic than substantive, considering the tears shed and toil these people endured along with grudeges and resentments accumulated over...
the ruling was judicial redefinding of modern history

monetarily..

all wartime wrongdoings and mistakes at government level
making vague apologies..

At som rish of losing foucus, one can't help but point out the insincerity of the Korean government..
It's understandable, but not agreeable that Tokyo still remains mum on the ruling.

revisiting the treaty..

rebuke the Seoul's dereliction of duty..

there is no future without proper settleiment of the past..
