Abstract
- The article discusses a recent legal case in Korea where a court ruled that Japan is not immune from liability for the forced labor and abuse suffered by "comfort women" during World War II. The Seoul High Court found that Japan violated international treaties and Korean law by operating the comfort women system. This decision sets a precedent rejecting a sovereign's defense of immunity in cases of forced labor, but its impact on international labor law remains to be seen. [Extracted from the article]
