The Abe group recently held a joint meeting in response to the decision made at the south Korean supreme court. The decision held that reparations should be paid to the victims of the conscript labor forced by Japanese imperialists in the past.

At the meeting, some said words can not be a counter-measure and some even said unless detailed counter-measures are taken, the problem would not be resolved.

It is the height of impudence.

Japan can never be pardoned for its crimes as it rebuffs the reparation to the victims in disregard of international law and human ethnics and morality.

For Japan to sincerely reflect its crime-woven past is its legal and moral responsibility and duty before the international community.

The source of the "economic prosperity" of which Japan is proud is the blood shed by millions of Koreans in the past.

There still exist in different parts of Japan labor sites where Koreans were forced to work like slaves, and more information about forcible drafting of Koreans, merciless exploitation, maltreatment and punishment are being disclosed even today.

Japan is the only country in the international community which persists in denying the historical fact and clear evidence about the unprecedented war crimes.

A fact standing in stark comparison with this was recently witnessed on the other side of the earth. A Nazi war criminal, aged over 90, was sternly punished, a reflection of wish not to see the same crimes and misfortune repeating.

However, Japan has refused to make an apology and reparation for the past crimes against the Korean nation. Instead, it has gone the lengths of hurling abuses at the victims.

When faced the judgment on the dissolution of the "foundation for reconciliation and recovery" and the issue of the reparations, the prime minister and other leading officials of the government officially said they would bring the case to the International Tribunal Court, complaining they can never accept it and warning they would take strong steps.

There is no court, where assailant punishes victim, on earth.

According to the logic of Abe group, Japan's past crime is not a crime and there is nothing wrong though it is repeated.

The deliberate denial of crime is tantamount to the start of new crime and its continuation.

The Abe group's connivance of high-profile crimes and all sorts of vicious acts by fascists in the past will only add more crimes to those already done by Japan.

Criminals will be forced to pay dearly for their crimes.
