The risk of establishing "sex slave" is revealed
Shiro Takahashi · Special professor at Meisei University
There are no information on 30 items of materials applied by the British Empire War Museum indicating that they were compulsory takeovers or sexual slavery of comfort women.
In the two testimonies suggesting compulsion, the grounds that the testimony is true and correct from the viewpoint of "authenticity of materials" in the general guidelines of "memory heritage" are not clear.
Specific date / location / person / witnessed because the original primary material that should be show witnessed is unknown, it is not credible.
Moreover, it seems that there is a misunderstanding and distortion which also lacked objectivity about photograph explanation.
Rather, the application data suggested that the comfort women were "public prostitution" managed by the Japanese army in Japanese military official documents.
UNESCO's International Advisory Committee to be held in October, as the "International Solidarity Committee" has applied for registration that the Japanese army forced sexual slavery of women and girls and established and operated sex slavery system " If the registration of a memorable heritage is decided as a comfort women's slave, materials showing 'public prostitution system' are dangerous to establish in the world as "sex slave" material.
