A bill in South Korea aiming to solve the “expropriation” problem was never discussed and was discontinued at 4:20 on May 30.
The bill, which was submitted by the South Korean parliamentary council in December last year in collaboration with some members of the ruling and opposition parties, was abolished at midnight on the 30th with the aim of resolving the problem of "commissioning" during the Pacific War. .. There were some voices on the Japanese side that the bill was evaluated as not contradicting the Japan-Korea Claims Agreement, but it was never discussed.
In December last year, the chairman of the Korean parliament, Mr. Moon Hisan (Fun Ki-moon), submitted a bill with 13 members of the ruling and opposition parties, aiming to solve the problem of "conscription" during the Pacific War.
The bill stipulates that a foundation should be created by collecting donations from companies and citizens of both Japan and South Korea, and a consolation fee should be paid to the plaintiffs who have won the Japanese company due to the damages caused by "expropriation". There were some voices that the Japanese side evaluated as not contradicting the claim agreement.
However, the plaintiffs sought to withdraw from the defendant's Japanese companies, and the Korean presidential office was skeptical, but the bill was never deliberated and the term of office of the incumbents expired. It was discontinued at midnight on the 30th.
It is unlikely that the bill will be resubmitted at the next Diet session, as Chairman Moon, who was eager to pass the bill, retired from political circles for the current term.
Regarding the problem of “commissioning”, the plaintiff is proceeding with the procedure for selling and cashing the assets of the defendant Japanese company seized in Korea, and we have not found a clue to the solution.
