The UN women's rights committee has found that the Philippines violated the rights of sexual slavery victims of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II 'by failing to provide reparation, social support, and recognition' to the harm suffered.

According to the decision of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women , 24 Filipino women from the non-profit organization Malaya Lolas had"repeatedly raised their demands, asking their Government to support their claims against Japan for reparations for their suffering."

Victim complainants were forcibly taken to, detained under"inhumane conditions," and sexually abused at the Bahay na Pula , the Japanese headquarters in San Ildefonso, Pampanga back in 1944. The Philippine government, however, maintained that it is not in a position to claim compensation from Japan after ratifying the Treaty of Peace in 1956.

PH case is just like SK case. Japan paid d GOVT. It's up to d GOVT to pay individual citizen. Japan provided SK w/ $300M grant in economic aid, $200M in loans together w/ $300M private loan trust fund, a total of $800M in 1965. 800M in 1965 is about $11B today. I have no PH info

The UN wants us to immortalize the atrocities of the Japanese Imperial Army just like what they're doing to Nazi Germany despite the fact that they're all dead and the current Japanese Government is innocent or had nothing to do with it. This is an obvious political manipulation.
