Rodong Sinmun comments on Wednesday that the reality shows that Japan can never deny nor hide the criminal sexual slavery and for Japan to liquidate the past is the demand of the international community.

The commentary goes on:

The sexual slavery committed by Japan in the first half of the 20th century is the hideous crime against humanity to which no statute of limitations of international law is applicable. More serious is an organized and systematic crime committed with the then Japanese government directly involved.

Under the international conventional law and written law on the statute of limitations, no statute of limitations is applicable to war crimes, crimes against humanity, slave crimes and other crimes against basic human rights.

Japan must make a sincere apology and unconditional reparation for the past crime.

By doing so, Japan can be honorable before the international community.
