2000년 일본군 성노예 전범 여성국제법정을 돌아보며 식민주의와 일본의 식민지 지배 책임
Rethinking The Women's International War Crimes Tribunal on Japan's Military Sexual Slavery Colonialism, and Japan's Responsibility for Colonial Rule This year marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of The Women's International War Crimes Tribunal on Japan's Military Sexual Slavery (hereinafter, ‘The Women's International War Crimes Tribunal’) in 2000. One day in December 2000, The Women's International War Crimes Tribunal was held in Tokyo, Japan, near TWS, where Japanese war crimes perpetrators were enshrined. This court meant to reflect on the past that did not properly deal with Japan's military sexual slave crime in the war crimes trial after World War II. And it was a place that expressed its willingness to create a new 21st century from the perspective of peace and women's rights.

민족주의에서 탈식민주의로 일본군 성노예제 연구와 운동의 역사로 본 식민주의와 여성의 인권
From Nationalism To Postcolonialism Colonialism and Women's Rights in the History of the Study and Movement on the Sexual Slavery System of the Japanese Military In the 1990s, the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan raised the issue of comfort women in the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights. In the process, they have achieved great achievements such as adopting resolutions urging the world to solve problems related to the Japanese sexual slavery system. The Women's International War Crimes Tribunal, held in 2000, was an experimental stage that attempted systematic international legal judgments on the criminality of the Japan's Military Sexual Slavery, and a place that combines the cross-border women's movement and human rights movement. Jeong Jin-sung, an emeritus professor at Seoul National University, is leading the court to announce the Japan's Military Sexual Slavery. We met her and talked about the background and preparation process of The Women's International War Crimes Tribunal, the achievements and limitations, the future research and the direction of movement.

한러수교 30주년과 역사적 기원
The 30th Anniversary of Korea-Russia diplomatic relations and its Historical Origin On September 30, 1990, Korea and the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations. The two countries established diplomatic relations for the first time in 1884 by signing ‘The Treaty of Friendship and Commerce between Korea and Russia’. However, official relations between the two countries were suspended by the Eulsa Treaty(1905), which Japan took away South Korea's diplomatic rights. Therefore, diplomatic relations between Korea and the Soviet Union meant restoration of relations for 85 years. Since then, Korea and the Soviet Union have been in hostile relations in the Cold War system. The normalization of the disconnected and confrontational relationship came after the summit between President Roh Tae-u of Korea and Communist Party Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union held in San Francisco on June 4, 1990.

동해와 독도가 표기되어 있는 19세기 중반 서양 고지도와 김대건 신부
An old map of the West in the mid-19th century with the East Sea and Dokdo, and Father Kim Dae-geon The first passage of the national anthem, which starts with 'Donghae Water and Mt. Baekdu dry and wear out' begins with 'East Sea'. As such, 'East Sea' is a geographical name familiar to the Korean people and is a familiar name for overseas Koreans including North Korea. So what about foreigners? Unfortunately, many maps published overseas often have been recorded as the ‘Sea of ​​Japan’ in the East Sea, so they do not feel familiar with the geographical name ‘East Sea’.

『신찬성씨록』 역주서 발간과 금후의 과제
The Publication of the Book Translated with Notes and the Future Tasks 『Shinsen shōjiroku (A New Record on Family Name)』 NAHF published the book translated with notes 『Shinsen shōjiroku』, a generalical table of ancient Japanese clans. This book is the basic data of ancient Japanese history research, but it is very useful for research on ancient Korean history and ancient Korean-Japanese relations because many Korean people are detected. In order to use 『Shinsen shōjiroku』 as historical data, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding and strict criticism of the compilation ideology of this literature. We organized a research team immediately after the publication of the book 『Nihon shoki』 and published the book after seven years of work. The period of compilation of 『Nihon shoki』 and 『Shinsen shōjiroku』 differs about a hundred years, but it is directly connected in terms of genealogy history.
