Japan must accept its war crimes

The United Nations Human Rights Council has re-initiated discussions on the euphemistically termed "comfort women". The UN human rights body has put pressure on Japan to admit its wartime atrocities, including forcing women to work for the imperial Japanese army as "sex slaves" during World War II.

Japan, as usual, has rejected the UN panel's appeal saying there is no explicit evidence to incriminate the Japanese army, but people are not convinced with any of Japan's excuses.
