South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se will address the UN Human Rights Council later today... to raise the issue of the so-called "comfort women,"... or women forced into *** slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. Seoul's foreign ministry said... Minister Yun will give a speech in Geneva and call on Japan to compensate the victims of its wartime *** slavery. This is the first time since 2006... that Seoul's top diplomat will attend a UN Human Rights Council session. The comfort women issue has strained relations between Korea and Japan,... as high-profile Japanese politicians have continued to deny the wartime atrocities committed during its imperialist past.
