On the 16th, Grandma Lee Yong-soo, a victim of the comfort women of the Japanese military, appealed today (on the 16th) to "receive the judgment of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) so that Japan can realize and reflect on the wrongdoing."
The grandmother, who served as the representative of the ICJ referral promotion committee on the comfort women issue of the Japanese military, held a press conference at the Seoul Press Center and urged President Moon Jae-in and the people to say, "Please let our government come out and reveal Japan's sins through international law."
The ICJ is the main judicial body of the United Nations as defined in the Charter of the United Nations, and its member states are obligated to comply with the ICJ's rulings, including Korea and Japan.
Lee said, "The two countries should take this responsibility and go to the International Court to get a complete solution and get along with each other without becoming an enemy of the two countries. How long will they growl like this?" "He raised his voice.
He said, "I'm old now, and my grandmothers (who died first) have nothing to say when they say,'What have you been doing so far?'" He said, "My last wish is that the President (beginning) get a judgment under international law."
When she asked President Moon to file an ICJ complaint, she got up from her seat and bowed down and sobbed.
This grandmother accused Mark Ramsey of a Harvard Law School professor who defined the victim of a comfort woman as a prostitute, saying, "(Japan) is accusing that our court violated international law with a red blot. I did.
In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, "I would like to listen to the position of the comfort women's grandmother a little more," and said it would carefully review the grandmother's request.
