Japan has found no evidence its World War II government and military forcibly rounded up women to be sex slaves nike air force 1 low , Tokyo has told a UN committee, the latest pronouncement in a corrosive row over interpretations of history.
The confirmation Tuesday, ahead of a conference on women later this month, is likely to renew anger among the dwindling number of surviving former "comfort women," who say the country has never taken full responsibility for what it did in wartime.
It could also further complicate a troubled deal between Tokyo and Seoul sealed in late December - one their top diplomats called "final and irreversible" - but which has sparked anger among former South Korean "comfort women" and their supporters.
Up to 200,000 women Women's Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit Low Pink Outlet , many of them South Koreans but also from China, the Philippines and what is now Indonesia, are estimated to have been forced to provide sex to Japanese soldiers during World War II.
Tokyo has offered repeated apologies over the issue, and says that while there was military involvement in the establishment of "comfort stations" there is no evidence its officials were involved in the abduction of women for the -purpose. It says private brokers were responsible in some cases, and in others, the women were common prostitutes.
In a report submitted to the committee and posted on its website Women's Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit Low White Online , Japan said it carried out a "full-scale fact-finding study" by investigating documents and interviewing people including former military officials since the early 1990s.
"The Japanese delegation will explain our position" on that and other women's issues at the Geneva conference that begins February 15, a -foreign ministry official in charge of gender issues- said, declining to give her name.
The UN-sponsored conference is part of the ongoing Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.

UNITED NATIONS, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday expressed concern over a possible cut in U.S. contributions to a UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
""In UNRWA Discount Men's Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit Low Grey , I am very concerned. And I strongly hope that in the end it will be possible for the United States to maintain the funding of UNRWA in which the U.S. has a very important share,"" Guterres told reporters, referring to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees.
UNRWA (the UN Relief and Works Agency) is not a Palestinian institution, UNRWA is a UN institution, Guterres explained.
The agency is providing vital services to the Palestinian refugees, both in the occupied territories and in Jordan Cheap Men's Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit Low Red , Syria, and Lebanon, he said.
""Those services are of extreme importance, not only for the well-being of these populations -- and there is a serious humanitarian concern here -- but also, in my opinion and the opinion that is shared by most international observers, including some Israeli ones Wholesale Men's Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit Low Blue , it is an important factor of stability.""
If the agency will not be in a position to provide the vital services and the emergency forms of support that it has been providing, this will create a very, very serious problem, said the UN chief. ""And we'll do everything we can to avoid the situation to occur.""
It is reported that U.S. President Donald Trump is planning to withhold tens of millions of dollars for UNRWA, which was created in 1949 as a relief and human development agency for Palestinian refugees and their descendants.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- An international team has shown that quantum computers can analyze relationships within large sets of data faster than classical computers, for a wider array of data types than previously expected.
The study, published on Friday in American journal Physical Review Letters Outlet Men's Nike Air Force 1 07 Low Gold White , proposed a "quantum linear system algorithm" that could conduct quantum computation with application in artificial intelligence (AI) and crunch numbers on problems such as commodities pricing, social networks and chemical structures.
The linear system algorithm, first proposed in 2009, works on a large matrix of data and has kick-started research into quantum forms of machine learning, or artificial intelligence.
"There is a lot of computation involved in analyzing the matrix. When it gets beyond say 10,000 by 10 Men's Nike Air Force 1 Low 07 LE Black White Cheap ,000 entries, it becomes hard for classical computers," explained Zhao Zhikuan,.
