War. During the 2014 session of the UN Commission
on the Status of Women in New York City Tuesday,... Gender Equality and Family Minister Cho Yoon-sun
announced plans to request the documentations of comfort women in Korea, China, and Southeast
Asia be registered on the UNESCO
Memory of the World Registrar in 2017. She added the request will be made in 2015.
