Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- Many countries are making efforts to liquidate the wrongdoings they committed in the past.
Last year, the UK and France returned cultural heritages plundered from African countries and the German government made a deep apology for the crimes the Nazis regime committed and has made reparation to those countries and victims who suffered human, material and spiritual damage so far after the Second World War.
Shortly ago, Germany donated 4 million euros to the building of State Museum of Jewish Genocide in the Netherlands.
This reflects the present international trend to promote the reconciliation and the development of new relations among countries with the solution of the past problems.
To sincerely reflect and make reparation for the wrongdoings in the past is the natural duty to be fulfilled by the assailant and the correct attitude to be adopted to break with the inglorious past.
But there is a childish and brutal country which refuses to make an apology and reparation for the crime-woven past, not feeling an elementary guilty conscience, quite contrary to this trend.
This is Japan, an island nation.
Japan is a war criminal state and a defeated nation which committed the hideous unethical crimes surpassing the fascist Germany.
Japan is the first country which has to keel down before humankind, especially the Korean people, and make an apology and reparation in every possible way for its wrongdoings.
This being a hard reality, the island nation has refused to acknowledge the crimes in the past and has been hell-bent on impudent acts of confusing the right and wrong until today since the defeat, not even considering it.
It disguised the crimes committed in Korea and Asian continent as "contribution to peace and security in Asia" and has distorted and fabricated history.
In view of the issue of the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army condemned by the international community, it, not content with persistent denial, goes so impudent as to insist on not using even the expression related to the said issue, like a thief crying "stop thief!"
Denying the past is an expression of the intention to repeat it.
That the Japanese reactionaries make persistent efforts to deny the past crimes is to revive the crime-woven history.
Japan is getting hell-bent on turning Japan into a major military power and on overseas expansion for its ambition of reinvasion, grudging that its defeat in the war of aggression was because of "weak strength".
Vaulting ambition has gone beyond the region to expand over the whole world and to reach space.
Japan is systematically and persistently implanting wild ultra-nationalism and viewpoint on history of aggression among new generation and Japanese people and it is pushing ahead with the retrogressive constitutional revision for taking up a complete appearance of a war state.
The Japanese reactionaries' shameless and brigandish act only increases the Korean people's hatred against Japan.
The memory of the sufferings and pain inflicted by the Japanese imperialists are still fresh in the mind of the Korean people. This increasingly cements their will to force Japan to pay a high price.
Japan's liquidation in the past is a serious political problem for justice and future of mankind and for global peace, not a mere problem related to history and money.
Japan can not escape from the past liquidation, demand of the era and history. -0-
