The commitment to the 'Comfort Women' agreement between Japan and South Korea appears to be at a standstill, with the actual implementation remaining questionable. The term 'Comfort Women' refers to women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. Despite the 2015 agreement for Japan to acknowledge and apologize for this atrocity and to establish a fund for the survivors, the action on these promises continues to be sluggish, raising doubts about Japan’s sincerity in resolving this age-old dispute.

The 'Comfort Women' issue is highly sensitive in Japan, where it's often seen as a part of the shameful history that many prefer to forget. But it's also important for the nation's diplomacy given its ramifications with neighboring Korea. Human rights groups, civil society, and survivors demand a sincere apology and stronger measures for reparation.

In the US and EU, similar historical disputes often involve an emphasis on reparations and formal apologies. The subsequent action varies but the acts are expected to be followed through once agreed upon. Delays similar to the one in the 'Comfort Women' agreement could be perceived as a lack of commitment and sincerity.
