'일본군 위안부 기록물' 유네스코 세계기록유산 등재 보류
UNESCO has decided to postpone its decision... on the listing of documents related to Korean victims of Japan's wartime sexual slavery... to its Memory of the World Register.
Although several diplomatic records of Korean envoys to Japan... were added to the archives,... the omission of the so-called "comfort women" files... will be seen as a disappointment to many.
Yu Joonhee reports.
On Monday,... UNESCO's International Advisory Committee... did not recommend the "comfort women" documents... for preservation in its Memory of the World Archive.
More than 2,700 records... chronicling Japan's wartime sexual slavery during World War II,... had been submitted to UNESCO by nine countries,... including South Korea, China and Taiwan.
However, after a four-day deliberation period,... to assess the historical and cultural significance of the documents in questions,... UNESCO has decide to postpone the listing.
Some critics suspect,... that the decision was influenced by heavy opposition from Japan,... which is a major donor to UNESCO.
The panel did approve the listing... of several other historical documents that had been submitted for preservation by the Korean government.
These include... centuries-old diplomatic records... relayed by Korean envoys in Japan,... documents on the National Debt Repayment Movement in the early 20th century... as well as royal seals used by the Chosun Dynasty.
Despite these setbacks,... UNESCO has called on Japan to acknowledge its war crimes on "comfort women"... and take active measures to address both the victims and perpetrators.
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights... requested Tokyo,... to take full legal responsibility... and punish individuals for the issue... with the number of victims estimated at 200,000 women all across Asia.
