Justice For Japanese War Rape Victims (EDM1039)

Justice For Japanese War Rape Victims

EDM number 1039 in 1992-93, proposed by Roger Godsiff on 09/12/1992.

That this House brings to the attention of Her Majesty's Government recent statements made by Mrs Jeanne Ruff-O'Herne before Japan's international public hearing on post-war compensation, the first European to recall publicly in Tokyo her sufferings as a war rape victim; notes that Korean and Filipino women suffered greater atrocities at the hands of Japanese Imperial Forces; asks that the Japanese Government be requested to make a full disclosure of Japan's complicity in war crimes offences during the Second World War as they have affected women; deplores the lack of action by the Japanese Government in its consideration of the issue of compensation for the women left alive; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to make as a minimum requirement a full and unequivocal commitment to support morally the actions of war rape victims and all other groups in their just fight for compensation from the Japanese Government.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
