대일전범재판에 나타난 일본군 ‘위안부’의 ‘강제동원성’ —도쿄재판의 전범기록을 중심으로—

Abstract

This paper aims to prove the "coerciveness" of the Japanese "comfort women" system by selecting and analyzing "comfort women" materials in the war crimes trials against Japan. Through the Kono statement(1993), the Japanese government acknowledged "military involvement＂ and the "coerciveness"of the Japanese "comfort women" system. However, the current Abe government, claiming to inherit the Kono statement, is trying to blur "comfort women" issues by repeatedly questioning the "Forced mobilization" of the Japanese "comfort women" system.<BR> Thus, this paper tries to prove the "Forced mobilization"of the Japanese "comfort women" system by gathering the Japanese war crimes trials materials, including bills of indictment, written judgments, and statements of witnesses, and by checking and analyzing the original texts. As a result, it proved the "coerciveness" of the "comfort women" system in a narrow sense, the "forced mobilization" of kidnappings of comfort women, which the Abe government denies.
