UNESCO has decided to postpone Memory of the World registration of archival materials on comfort women. The decision, which means a victory for Japan, was welcomed by Tokyo as “appropriate.” UNESCO’s International Advisory Committee, which makes decisions on the Memory of the World register, opted to recommend postponement of the comfort women archival material registration in a list of registration recommendations announced on Oct. 30 in Paris. The recommendation was approved by UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova. http://bit.ly/2zd4xca http://bit.ly/2zd4xca+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
