<NAHF’s position on the Industrial Heritage Information Center in Japan>

On March 12, NAHF strongly urged the Japanese government to specify forced mobilization and forced labor in the Industrial Heritage Information Center to be built in Tokyo. This Industrial Heritage Information Center reflects the recommendation to establish an interpretation strategy to understand the whole history when part of the modern industrial facilities in Japan was listed as a World Heritage Site in the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in July 2015.

At that time, the Japanese government promised to take measures to honor the victims, such as the establishment of an information center, to understand that Koreans were mobilized against their will, forced to work under harsh conditions. However, the Japanese government said it plans to establish an industrial heritage information center by March 2020, without revealing specific plans for fulfilling its promise in State of Conservation Report submitted in 2019.

Therefore, NAHF urged the Industrial Heritage Information Center to properly record the historical facts of forced mobilization and forced labor as promised to the international community and take measures to honor the victims.
