On January 8, 2021, the Seoul Central District Court made a historical ruling on the lawsuit filed by Japanese military “comfort women” victims for damages against Japan. The judgment is the first to acknowledge Japan’s legal responsibilities for victims of Japanese military sexual slavery, which was a systemic and extensive crime against humanity committed by Imperial Japan. The ruling was also groundbreaking in excluding state immunity for crimes against inhumanity.
Please join the international symposium to learn about implications of the ruling from diverse perspectives from international law, women's human rights and universal human rights!
