SEOUL - A South Korean woman who had been forced to work in a Japanese wartime military brothel said Japan lacked honor for failing to attend a South Korean court on Wednesday as it began hearing a civil case brought against its government by a group of victims.
“Japan isn’t being honorable. They should show up at court if they are,” Lee said, urging Japan to apologize and compensate its victims or make its case in court. Tokyo had refused to hear the women’s case against its government, maintaining that the matter of compensation for the women was settled under the 1965 treaty that normalized relations.
“This is the first-ever trial for the surviving victims, and could be the last one given their ages,” Lee Sang-hee, a lawyer for the women, told the trial. “In terms of international law, the Japanese government is not subject to South Korean jurisdiction because of the principle of sovereign immunity,” Suga told a regular briefing on Wednesday before the trial.
