"Comfort Women" From Korea: Japan's World War Ii Sex Slaves And The Legitimacy Of Their Claims For Reparations, Yvonne Park Hsu Jun 1993

"Comfort Women" From Korea: Japan's World War Ii Sex Slaves And The Legitimacy Of Their Claims For Reparations, Yvonne Park Hsu

Washington International Law Journal

During World War II, Japan forced 100,000 to 200,000 women from all over Asia into prostitution to satisfy the sexual cravings of Japanese soldiers. These women thus forced into prostitution were euphemistically called "comfort women". In December 1991, three former Korean comfort women filed suit in the Tokyo District Court, seeking damages for their sufferings. From both legal and moral perspectives, Japan needs to make reparations for violations of these women's fundamental human rights. By meeting the obligations arising from its past abuses of human rights, Japan will take a significant step toward preventing its militant past from re-occurring, fostering …


Lessons From A Changing Japan, John Owen Haley Jun 1993

Lessons From A Changing Japan, John Owen Haley

Washington International Law Journal

As suggested by the title, these comments center on three propositions: that Japan is changing; that somehow Japan in the process of such change has something to teach us; and finally, that we have something to learn from Japan. Living in Japan over the past six months—the longest period during which I have continuously lived in Japan since the early 1970's—I have been startled by the extent of intellectual and material changes. Although some may belittle the Japanese slogan kokusaika, I am deeply impressed by the profound "internationalization" of Japanese attitudes and understanding. As goods, services, and ideas flow …

Chinese Methods For Settling Economic Disputes Concerning Foreigners And Their Legal Bases, Xiao Yongzhen, Godfrey Lam, Neil Meyers

Washington International Law Journal

This translation of an original Chinese language work by Xiao Yongzhen discusses the legal authority Chinese courts rely on in addressing economic disputes arising from foreign investment and joint-venture agreements in the People's Republic of China. The translation details specific legal mechanisms used in China, as well as distinct Chinese legislation and practices relied upon to amicably resolve contractual disputes between private parties involving foreign interests in China. Translators' Introductory Note: The style of Chinese law review articles differs somewhat from that of American law reviews; therefore this translation should be read with those differences in mind. Chinese law review …


Special 301: An Effective Tool Against Thailand's Intellectual Property Violations, Preeti Sinha May 1993

Special 301: An Effective Tool Against Thailand's Intellectual Property Violations, Preeti Sinha

Washington International Law Journal

Special 301 of the 1988 Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act grants the United States Trade Representative the authority to target countries that do not adequately protect intellectual property rights. The USTR has been investigating and negotiating with several countries, including Thailand, in an effort to improve intellectual property protections for American products. As a result, Thailand has instituted noteworthy changes in its copyright and patent laws. This Comment recommends that the USTR continue to negotiate with Thailand, and that the USTR continue to exert pressure on Thailand. This Comment also suggests that because Thailand has taken steps to improve protection …

How The East Was Won: A Critique Of U.S. Tactics In Negotiating Patent Protection For Pharmaceuticals In Thailand, Michael Begg May 1993

How The East Was Won: A Critique Of U.S. Tactics In Negotiating Patent Protection For Pharmaceuticals In Thailand, Michael Begg

Washington International Law Journal

In February 1992, Thailand amended its patent law to provide patent protection for drugs. The amendment resulted from pressure by the United States pharmaceutical industry and the United States Trade Representative; it was not a Thai internal policy decision. Bleak prospects in the U.S. drug market due to a climate of increasing restraints on drug prices have led the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association to push for patent protection for their products abroad. Consequently, the United States Trade Representative pressured Thailand to amend its Patent Act to include pharmaceuticals, threatening to use Section 337 of the Trade and Tariff Act of 1930 …
