    I don't get your point bibric.

    Your arguing that Korea shouldn't have to go to ICJ because Japan has not complied with the decisions/recommendation from other international organization??

    Wouldn't this be a great opportunity for Korea to go to ICJ (as per request of J-gov) and show their case to…

    We're talking about International Court of Justice (ICJ) when dealing with territorial disputes.

    I read Seiharinokaze's response, and he offers a compelling argument regarding sheer numbers, but it doesn’t change the fact that forced migrations happened. Granted, the Korean side offers grossly over-inflated numbers in their claims, but the Japanese response isn’t much better, with many suggesting that there were no conscriptions or…

    The forced migrations to Japan that the Koreans spoke of actually occurred, as they claimed, and they did occur, unless of course, you disagree with that point as well

    I do.

    Read Seiharinokaze's response to this thread.

    Yes, Japan brought all those things to the Korean Peninsula

    That's the problem. Neither the Chosen schools here in Japan nor schools in Korea teaches this. And most importantly, they failed to grasp that fact at that time, Korean peninsula was a failed state that could not govern herself.…

    "Before we pitched the net, a fish jumped into the net," said Midori Komatsu, who was the foreign affairs director at the Office of the Japanese Resident General in Korea, recollecting the eve of the Japanese annexation of Korea in August 1910. His remarks are sinking deep into our…

    So whether Korea was "colonized" or "annexed" by Japan in 1910 is not really relevant. Deprivation of Korea's sovereignty was achieved (protectorate status had already been achieved in 1905). And the reason this did not occur earlier in 1895 was because of the Triple Intervention (more directly related to peninsular…

    The treaty concluded with Japan had one, the seal, but not the other, the signature. The sitting monarch at the time, Emperor Yung-hui, not only did not sign the treaty, thus giving it legal validity based on Korean law, but refused to due to the castrating quality of the treaty.…

    Yeah. That makes sense Howardtheduck. Treaty of Shimonoseki was executed in 1895 which gave independence to Korea but it was just a camouflage since Japan's true intentions were to rule Korea from the very beginning. So they waited another 15 years to do so.

    Question though. What's the point of…

    Just word games.

    植民地支配　(colonial rule)　versus 併合 (annexation)

    The story behind this is that North Korean School wanted extra public funding from Shimonoseki City but Shimakura refused. As often, the school used their typical extort tactic of "we deserved this because out forefathers were victims of "colonial rule"). Shimakura responded…
