1페이지 내용 : Given that Japan’s Meiji Industrial Heritage Sites include many places such as Battleship Island Hashima Coal Mine where forced laborers from Korea and other places were used during the Asia-Pacific War, South Korea and China have opposed its being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Japanese government acknowledged that a large number of Korean and other laborers were forced to work at the sites against their will, and promised that an information center would be established to remember the victims of forced labor. However, the Industrial Heritage Information Centre’s exhibits that opened on June 15, 2020 in Tokyo far removed from the vicinity — of the Sites denied the painful history of forced labor — and discrimination against Koreans and others. Consequently, the July 2021 World Heritage Committee expressed “strong regrets” and requested that Japan improve the narratives of the sites related to forced labor. It is therefore crucial that close attention continues to be paid to Japan’s progress towards honoring its promises at the time of the inscription and to its implementation of UNESCO’s recommendations. * 이번 호는 제 호 한글판 약속 이행을 촉구받는 일본 메이지 5 산업유산12.1 을 보완하여 번역한 것이다 Northeast Asian History Report, no.28 November 15st, 2022
