A South Korean court has ordered Japan to compensate a group of women who were forced to work in wartime brothels.
minus-squareterry_tibbs@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up57·1 year agoBest of luck enforcing it, I love Japan but it’s like talking to a brick wall when it comes to war time atrocities.
minus-squarestopthatgirl7@kbin.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·1 year agoYeah, I’m not in the tiniest bit hopeful they’ll actually pay.
minus-squarestoylinkfedilinkarrow-up11·1 year agoIf they started paying now, they would get innandated with demands, they should have dealt with this before. Japan, to my knowledge, has never dealt with it’s WWII history, as far as I have heard it is mostly not talked about. I believe they would be a healthier nation if they did.
