Japan human rights news Videos

It's all a lie, and no matter how much someone hates Japan, it will always be a lie. There are growing, unsubstantiated questions about whether the Japanese Imperial Army kidnapped 200,000 sex-slaves (Comfort Women) in World War II. Mostly from Korea. A $30 million US Government Study specifically searched for evidence on Comfort Women allegations. After nearly seven years with many dozens of staff pouring through US archives -- and 30 million dollars down the drain -- we found a grand total of nothing. The final IWG report to Congress was issued in 2007.

Japan need a government-owned broadcasting firm to lodge a counter attack against Korean media -- see what the Arirang News does. They cleverly twists the story to deceive people.

To be fair there were Japanese comfort women providing sexsual services exclusively to the soldiers of the occupation forces to provide their families or enjoy better living in the post war period. This was a project totally goverment-backed in an effort to stop cases of raping the Japanese women by the US-led allied forces . Those professional women were treated in the same way as the "Korean comfort women". Let's face it.

The UN Human Rights Committee has begun a regular, two-day examination of Japan's human rights record. According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency, 18 legal experts from the United Nations body are looking at a number of issues... dating back to the Japanese military's forced sexual enslavement of women during World War II. They'll also examine more current issues, including Japanese nationalist groups that hold regular demonstrations against ethnic Koreans and immigrants,... and the state's use of capital punishment. The committee requires states that have ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to submit reports on their human rights record every five years. At the end of the month the committee will advise Japan on areas where improvements are needed. 

The World Health Organization is convening an emergency summit to determine whether the latest outbreak of Ebola has become an international health crisis. With more, we now turn to Paul Yi at the News Center. Paul, this fatal disease has already claimed the lives of some 900 people in West Africa And concerns are growing... the virus may spread to other parts of the world. That's right. Health experts around the world are putting their heads together to get the Ebola outbreak under control. Officials from the W-H-O say this emergency meeting in Geneva is aimed at quelling fears and introducing concrete measures to tackle the epidemic. But already we're seeing countries... such as Korea... stepping up monitoring of its citizens abroad for possible infections,... while Spain announced on this Wednesday that it was repatriating a missionary who tested positive for the disease in Liberia. Our Kim Min-ji reports. The World Health Organization is set to discuss whether to designate this latest Ebola outbreak.... as a public health emergency of INTERNATIONAL concern. If the verdict out after a two-day emergency committee meeting starting Wednesday is YES,... the committee will recommend that the director-general of the WHO declare it as such. The UN body would then implement temporary measures to keep the virus from spreading internationally. The health organization says more than 16-hundred people have been infected in the current outbreak and that the number killed is nearing 900. But there are fears that the actual death toll could be much higher than the WHO figures suggest. Voices among the world's leading Ebola specialists are calling on the World Health Organization to make experimental drugs available to victims in West Africa. Two American citizens who were flown home after being infected with the virus... are reportedly recovering after being administered with an experimental drug called ZMapp. Kim Min-ji, Arirang News.
