Former Ambassador Shin Gak-soo (2011-2013) said in an interview with Mainichi Newspaper on the 9th: “This ruling actually brought the issue of comfort women back to its origin” and said: “In particular, it includes content which completely denies the ‘comfort women deal’ in 2015. I am concerned that it will be difficult to solve the problem in the future.
However, Ambassador Shin said that there is a separate decision procedure when the Japanese government seeks to seize or sell assets in Korea as a means of obtaining compensation, so there is still the possibility that the ‘waiver of sovereignty’ of the Japanese party is recognized at the stage of execution of the sentence. He pointed out that there is something different to the recruitment victims lawsuit in which Japanese corporate assets have already been seized.
He stressed that, first, it is important that both the governments of the Republic of Korea and those of Japan respond calmly.
He said that it is highly desirable that the two countries consistently implement the 2015 agreement and seek diplomatic solutions, such as more agreements if there are any deficiencies.
Professor Yoon Deok-min (International Politics) of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (International Politics), former Head of the National Institute of Foreign Relations (2013-2017), said in an interview with the Yomiuri Shimbun: “It proved that the principle of the international community that judicial law judges carefully when making diplomatic decisions has ceased to function in Korea. ” He noted that the legal stability of relations between Korea and Japan has been compromised by a series of rulings by the Korean judiciary on recruitment and female solace victims.
Professor Yoon, who noted that the Moon Jae-in administration ignored the ‘comfort women agreement’ and did not propose an alternative, stressed that “the separation of powers says that the administration cannot intervene in the judiciary, but this is a problem that politics must solve. “
He said that “if (the Moon Jae-in administration) negotiates with the Japanese government again or persuades the Korean people, the Korean government should come to the fore and try to resolve it.”
Lee Won-deok, a professor at Kookmin University (Japanese Studies) who served as the director of the Reconciliation and Healing Foundation, said in an interview with Asahi Shimbun that the Japanese government recognized and apologized for its responsibility on the issue of Comfort Women and resolved it under the 2015 Comfort Women Accord, which includes funds from the Japanese government. He said it is very desirable.
However, he pointed out that the agreement is in a state of destruction, and for a peaceful solution, the only way to resolve it is to seek the judgment of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) based on the agreement between the two countries.
Professor Lee also said: “In Japan, the Korean administration and the judiciary may seem like a lump, but in reality it is not,” he said. “The Korean government will be embarrassed by the ruling.”
Professor Lee analyzed that “the (administrative government) cannot intervene in the judiciary according to the principle of separation of powers, and if it intervenes, the extent to which (Moon Jae-in’s government) can move is limited, as he can be tried for violation of the constitution as former President Park Geun-hye. ” did.
“You can say that it is the Korean government and not the Japanese government that is in a difficult position with this decision.”
Professor Lee said that there is a high possibility that the public opinion of the other country will deteriorate together in the future, and expressed the opinion that Korea should exercise the ability to handle confrontation and Japan should not raise the problem by maintaining an attitude that don’t escalate the confrontation.
