It is a North Korean organization related to the Japanese military “Comfort Women” issue. Based on the findings of the ‘Committee for the Investigation of Damage Caused by the Japanese Imperialists during Their Occupation of Korea,’ which was established in 1992 by North Korean government officials, historians, international law scholars, and lawyers, this Committee was established in August 1993. In 1993, it hosted events such as the Pyongyang International Forum, inviting surviving victims of the Japanese military “Comfort Women” system and activists, and facilitated exchanges. In 1995, it published The Cries of Trampled Lives, a collection of testimonies from 40 surviving “Comfort Women” residing in North Korea.
