UNESCO Delays Talks on Meiji Sites After Japan and South Korea Argue Over 'Forced Labour'

IZUNOKUNI, JAPAN - JULY 04: Visitors watch the ruins of Nirayama Furnace on July 4, 2015 in Izunokuni, Shizuoka, Japan. Renewed bickering over history between Tokyo and Seoul forced a UNESCO committee to postpone discussions on whether to list Japan's "Sites of the Meiji Industrial Revolution" as a World Cultural Heritage site. The dispute is over the term "forced labour" concerning Koreans sent to work at some of those Japanese sites during World War II, when the Korean Peninsula was under Japan's rule.
