| Research Abstract |
In and after 1990, so many litigations to demand personal war redress to the Japanese Governmant have been brought into the court. We think the reason for this situation is that in January 1989 the Emperor Hirohito, who should have been prosecuted in the Tokyo International War Tribunal as the sovereign responsible for the war invasion, died, and that in December 1989 the Russo-American Cold War was announced by two Heads of the State to be ended. So there would be no obstacles for foreign war victims who got injured, damaged or insulted as forced laborers, "Comfort Women" or war criminals during the wartime to ask personally the Japanese Government the responsibility for war redress. This is our theory.
The Japanese Government, however, has been extremely reluctant to acccept personal redress, since it has been insisting that compensation and problems of personal claims were finally resolved by the Peace Treaty or other bilateral agreements so far made. We think there is surely an unconstituionally double-standardized injustice in the war compensation law system in Japan. We have concluded that The Diet of Japan should legislate urgently the Special War Redress Law for Foreign War Victims for the purpose of "Wiedergutmachung" in German.
