第4回:第二章 世界に広がった「慰安婦=性奴隷」の嘘
1、2007年米議会慰安婦決議から全米に波及
アメリカにおける慰安婦問題は2007年の米議会下院決議から大きく取り上げられるようになりました。それ以前から実は、対日訴訟問題の一つとして取り上げられていました。マイク・ホンダもカルフォルニア下院議員の時に関係した「ヘイデン法」とよばれる「戦時強制労働補償時効延長法」によって膨大な補償訴訟が出されました。慰安婦もその中に含まれていました。しかし、これらに対し米国務省・司法省は一貫して「サンフランシスコ講和条約での国家間の合意で解決済み」との日本政府の主張を支持しました。合衆国最高裁判所は、慰安婦たちの集団訴訟却下の最終判断を下しました。アメリカのマスコミもこれを支持する論調がほとんどでした。
ところが今度は、「女性の人権問題」にすり替えた日本叩きが始まり、マイク・ホンダらは2007年に下院の決議を勝ち取ることになったのでした。この決議は、拘束力無しですが、「検証なし」で決議できるところに「目をつけた」作戦かもしれません。
しかし、この決議以降「慰安婦非難」は大手を振ってアメリカで主張できるようになり、グレンデールの慰安婦像建立などが続出してきました。自治体がいかに一部の勢力によって動かされれているのか、その実態をこの論文は詳しく報告してくれています。

No.4: Chapter 2 The Fiction Equating Comfort Women with Sex Slaves Spreads throughout the World
1. US House Resolution (2007) and its nationwide repercussions
By Hisae Kennedy
The comfort-women controversy did not command the attention of Americans on a widespread level until 2007, when the House of Representatives passed Resolution 121.
The first wave of litigation began in 1999, when California State Senator Tom Hayden and California State Assemblymen Rod Pacheco, and Mike Honda sponsored what became known as the Hayden Bill, which was signed into law. The legislation was entitled “Compensation: World War II slave and forced labor.”
Fifteen women filed a class-action suit against the Japanese government in federal district court in Washington, D.C. on September 18, 2000. All claimed that they had been forced to service Japanese soldiers as comfort women during World War II. But on February 26, 2006 the US Supreme Court dismissed the class-action suit instituted by the former comfort women.
During that era, the US government, judiciary and media demonstrated an understanding of Japan’s position, as well as agreement that Japan had no legal obligation to compensate the plaintiffs.
Once it became clear that the US government and judiciary were not going to change their minds, and that Japan-bashers were not going to win the hearts of media representatives or the American people, the anti-Japanese organizations changed their tactics. They abandoned the former prisoners of wars and laborers, whom they had used to further their twisted mission, and adopted new causes: women’s rights and human rights.
This change in tactics proved very successful, bringing about House Resolution 121 and the spread of “comfort women” accusations, including comfort women statues.
