Abstract
The note examines the historical injustice and ongoing legal challenges surrounding the issue of "comfort women" during World War II, highlighting the barriers to justice and the ethical and diplomatic complexities that have prevented resolution. It critiques the legal frameworks and international efforts that have failed to address the survivors' demands for acknowledgment and reparations, emphasizing the tension between morality and geopolitical interests.
