V. Proposed Recommendations
We request that the Committee send the following recommendations to the Government of the Republic of Korea:
(a) Reexamine its educational policy from reasonable and unbiased viewpoints and make efforts to improve the present circumstance of anti-Japanese education which is now only incurring unnecessary conflict between Japan and Korea.

(b) From the viewpoints of international understanding and cooperation, give necessary consideration to neighboring countries and reflect this in school textbooks in dealing with modern and contemporary historical matters.
(c) Review descriptions in school textbooks to see if there are distortions, fabrications, racist or insulting descriptions against other peoples and correct them.
(d) Approve an Act regulating hate speech and administer punishment if there are insulting words, speech, writings, exhibits which are discriminatory or insulting against other peoples, including the Japanese people, are utilized.
(e) Review distortions, fabrications, racist statements and insults against other peoples, including the Japanese, among exhibits displayed in the public areas like museums and historical halls, and amend them.
(f) Make sincerest apologies and pay compensation to Japanese fishermen, together with their bereaved families, who were forcibly taken to Korea, detained and cruelly treated under the excuse that they violated the so-called Syngman Rhee Line.

IV. Conclusions
The Korean people's discrimination against the Japanese people gets worse year after year.
Unnecessary frictions born between Japan and Korea today are largely due to the Korean people’s racism and discrimination against the Japanese people.
The depth and extent of Korean prejudice against Japan is illustrated by the example of the campaign to pull out the stakes to recover their national strength, which is still going on across the country.
The stakes were driven into the ground for use during land surveys during Japanese rule.
Koreans, however, believe that “the stakes were driven into the ground by Japan, using wind and water to shut down the Korean people’s energy.”
The Korean people’s prejudice came into being as a result of the Korean Government's maneuvers to plant “hatred” of the Japanese people through anti-Japanese education and totally distorting history.
Such teaching, to plant hatred against other states through a fascist program of conceited education prevents the youth of the state from developing sound minds and makes it difficult to grow up with a common-sense world view and will eventually lead to isolation from the rest of the international community.
In addition, the fact that the Korean government has been educating its children with denigrating caricatures of the Japanese people, through textbooks and anti-Japanese institutions, is “hate speech” engaged by an entire state.
We can only conclude that Korea’s anti-Japanese education is clearly against the purport of Article 2-1 of the ICERD.
Moreover, distorting history to fit Korean biases is a shameful act against the sublime moral code of ethics human beings have built, a threat to world peace and totally impermissible from a humane point of view.

The Korean Government, from the viewpoint of the principle of mutuality, must carry out the following three measures:
1) In authorizing Japanese textbooks, one consideration made is that in dealing with modern and contemporary historical matters from the viewpoints of international understanding and cooperation.
For Japan to maintain this policy in the future, it is also necessary for Korea to use a similar policy, of reflection and consideration for neighboring countries, including Japan, in its textbooks.
2) In Japan, the act of hurling insulting words to foreigners is prohibited (The Act on the Elimination of Hate Speech19).
Naturally, Korea should approve the similar law against insulting words, speech, writing and exhibits against foreigners, including Japanese.
3) Regarding the issue of comfort women, it has been reported that a member of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination contradicted the Japanese Government.
20 Following the committee member’s line of discussion, the issue of the Syngman Rhee Line, which was pointed out in section III. Background 3-1-1, will not be resolved, so long as the Korean Government refuses to apologize or compensate individual Japanese victims of Korean terrorism.
Therefore, the Korean Government must give sincere apologies and
compensation to the Japanese fishermen who were abducted to Korea and most cruelly treated, and to their bereaved families as well, for the reason that they violated the so-called Syngman Rhee Line.

3-3-4. Old man murdered for making a pro-Japanese remark
According to the Segye Ilbo dated September 12, 2013,17an honest, ninety-five-year-old man, who said, “the days under Japanese Occupation were not so bad,” was beaten to death, on account that the old man vindicated Imperial Japanese rule.
The article reads: One day last May, Mr. Ko so-and-so (aged 38) had a quarrel with Mr. Pak so-and-so (aged 95) in the park in the Jang-ro district in Seoul. Mr. Ko was drunk and could not restrain his anger, hearing Mr. Pak say, “Japan’s colonial rule was a good thing.” Soon enough, Mr. Ko kicked Mr. Pak very hard and took the 80-centimeter-long cane Mr. Pak used to support himself and hit the latter on the
head with the stick over and over again. Mr. Pak was immediately carried to hospital. At first, the court treated the incident as a simple case of violence, but during the trial, Mr. Pak, hospitalized and under medical treatment, died, which raised the seriousness of the crime. [omitted.]
The Seoul District Court changed Mr. Ko’s charge to manslaughter and sentenced him to five-year imprisonment.
It was a very sad case, but surprisingly, it was not Mr. Pak, who died, but Mr. Ko that gained sympathy and was vindicated by a majority of Koreans.18

“In the first place, the old man was guilty at the point when he praised Imperial Japan and deserved to be killed,” “We should give Mr. Ko a medal of honor,” and so on.
Mr. Ko is treated almost like a hero.
Through anti-Japanese education, racism and hate against Japanese whirl throughout Korea.
In Korea, you cannot tell the truth unless you are ready to be beaten to death.
What a horrible country Korea is! The thought makes us shudder.

The article reads: One day last May, Mr. Ko so-and-so (aged 38) had a quarrel with Mr. Pak so-and-so (aged 95) in the park in the Jang-ro district in Seoul. Mr. Ko was drunk and could not restrain his anger, hearing Mr. Pak say, “Japan’s colonial rule was a good thing.” Soon enough, Mr. Ko kicked Mr. Pak very hard and took the 80-centimeter-long cane Mr. Pak used to support himself and hit the latter on the
head with the stick over and over again. Mr. Pak was immediately carried to hospital. At first, the court treated the incident as a simple case of violence, but during the trial, Mr. Pak, hospitalized and under medical treatment, died, which raised the seriousness of the crime. [omitted.]
The Seoul District Court changed Mr. Ko’s charge to manslaughter and sentenced him to five-year imprisonment.
It was a very sad case, but surprisingly, it was not Mr. Pak, who died, but Mr. Ko that gained sympathy and was vindicated by a majority of Koreans.18

“In the first place, the old man was guilty at the point when he praised Imperial Japan and deserved to be killed,” “We should give Mr. Ko a medal of honor,” and so on.
Mr. Ko is treated almost like a hero.
Through anti-Japanese education, racism and hate against Japanese whirl throughout Korea.
In Korea, you cannot tell the truth unless you are ready to be beaten to death.
What a horrible country Korea is! The thought makes us shudder.
