The statement said that the "agreement" between Japan and south Korea over the issue of the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army is the unreasonable political bargaining chip as it nullifies Japan's state and legitimate responsibility for the past crimes in disregard of the dignity and human rights of the victims of the sexual slavery.

There would never be "final" and "irreversible" settlement of the most brutal inhuman crimes in history without Japan's acknowledgement of legal liability and sincere apology and reparation to the whole Korean people, the statement said, adding:

We strongly demand the south Korean authorities stop at once challenging the just struggle of all Koreans for the settlement of the past crimes of Japan being servile to Japan.
