KCNA: "JAPAN IS THE WORST VIOLATOR OF HUMAN RIGHTS"
The Japanese imperialists bitterly despised, insulted and maltreated the Koreans, blustering "the Koreans must abide by the Japanese law or die". And they did not allow the Koreans to go by the names given by their parents under the pretext of "changing Korean names to Japanese." It is due to the aftermath of the crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists that not only the victims of the forcible drafting but their bereaved families consider it hard to find the names of their own and relatives. Statute of limitations is not applicable to the war crimes and human rights abuses in view of international law. The human rights abuses the Japanese imperialists committed by forcibly drafting and massacring Koreans in the past are war crimes, "crimes against humanitarianism" and
human rights abuses, the truth of which should be probed to the end. Japan is the worst violator of human rights as it abducted a great number of young and middle aged Koreans for slave labor, forced Korean women into sexual slavery for the imperial Japanese army and disallowed the Koreans to use their spoken and written languages. It should be judged according to international law. It should reinstate the victims of the forcible drafting and make adequate compensation to them and their bereaved families.
Sadly enough, the DPRK (and the pre-1987 ROK for that matter) appears to have learned all too well from Japan.
