| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Japanese military’s history of wanton rape during war continues to dog its diplomacy and economic relations, particularly with South Korea. Although Japan is not alone in its military having committed such war crimes, it does stand out as a developed nation that denies full accountability and seeks to diminish the import of its actions. Japan has an opportunity to make amends and help reduce the likelihood of such heinous crimes in the future worldwide. It should seize the chance to lead rather than obfuscate, to promote healing rather than deny the magnitude of pain that it caused. |
