Rodong Sinmun Urges Japan to Settle Its Past Crimes
Pyongyang, February 21 (KCNA) -- An international memorial service for holocaust victims was recently held in Poland on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the liberation of O'swiecim Concentration Camp. This served as a reminder of the heinous murder and other war crimes committed by the warlike forces in the past. It reflected the mindset of the world people not to see such tragic history repeating itself. It also showed the urge of the times for the criminal states to repent of their past crimes and right their wrongs.
It is exactly Japan which should accept this demand of the times, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a bylined commentary.
The commentary goes on:
The acknowledgment of the past crimes and compensation for them are the responsibility of Japan before history and its legal and moral duty.
Other criminal countries are striving in every way to turn over a new leaf for peaceful development after breaking with their past.
What is most resentful is that Japan is stepping up the establishment of war system and the moves to be a military power spurred by sinister ambition to repeat the past history of aggression and war crimes.
