Rodong Sinmun Tuesday urges this in a bylined article.

Abduction and forcible drafting committed by the Japanese imperialists in Korea were something unprecedented in human history in their barbarous and savage nature. The article cites facts to prove them.

It goes on:

The Japanese reactionaries have craftily worked to hide the truth about their past crimes and keep them buried into oblivion, far from clarifying them and making apology and reparation for them.

They are getting frantic in their moves to distort history, persistently shunning the settlement of their past in a bid to step up their moves for reinvasion. They claim that Japan suffered a defeat because "it was weak," instead of drawing a lesson from it. They are now working hard to realize their militarist ambition by building up military muscle, the ambition they failed to do so in the past. The retrogressive revision of the "pacifist constitution", the massive reinforcement of aggressor forces and "claim to Tok Islets" are part of their scenario to realize their wild ambition for reinvasion.

At a time when the international community including the Asians is demanding the settlement of Japan's past crimes, the Japanese reactionaries let out sophism that it is "wrong" to deal with the old issue of the past as an important pending one, while rejecting it. This clearly reveals shamelessness and wickedness peculiar to the Japanese reactionaries.

Japan had better properly know how the international community watches it.
