Minju Joson Slams Japan's Denial of Its Past Crimes
Pyongyang, December 1 (KCNA) -- Files of the Nanjing massacre perpetrated by the Imperial Japanese Army have been registered as UNESCO (memory of the world) documentary heritage.

Concerning this, Japan is vociferous that an institutional reform should be carried out by the UNESCO and it is necessary to dispatch Japanese scholars to the advisory committee of the UNESCO.

Minju Joson on Tuesday comments in this regard:

This is a blatant challenge to the demand of the world people for Japan's settlement of its past crimes.

The massacre committed by the Japanese imperialists in Nanjing is still fresh in the memory of not only the Chinese people but also other Asian people as it was unprecedented in the history of humankind.

If Japan had a shred of conscience, it would have not dared protest the registration of the files of the massacre as the world documentary heritage.

By behaving quite contrary to this, Japan self-exposed before the world its deplorable moral level.

What is more ridiculous is that Japan threatened to take into consideration its contribution to the UNESCO, grumbling about the registration, That is to say, Japan will not pay contributions to the UNESCO in reprisal for the unpleasant registration. This is a shameful behavior of the morally depraved country.

Japan has not yet gotten rid of a fate as a political dwarf due to its failure to settle its part crimes though it is desperately working to increase its say and influence in international arena, advocating "international leadership."

Japan would be well advised to remember that it is a pressing task for Japan to redress its past crimes and make a right policy decision, though belatedly.
