As far as I have observed international criticism and disapproval of Japan's position on "comfort women" issue, it is a step to further justify victors' justice and to implicitly strengthen their political position over Japan while intentionally failing to understand a true motive hidden behind the issuance of Kono remark on "comfort women".
The Government of Japan should assume responsibilies for having given a wrong impression to the international community that Japan admitted forced recruitment of so-called comfort women. Those Japanese politicians and bureaucrats not fully aware of realities in international politics inadvertently recommended Kono to issue it (Kono remark prepared by those bureaucrats) without giving due consideration to the ensuing consequences, so as to pacify the govt of south korea always acting like a peevish kid who in fact jumped on a story of "comfort women" as the bandwagon soon after it was fabricated by Japanese leftists.
Japanese politicians and bureaucrats in those days somehow thought that "comfort women" issue could be taken as another way for the govt of south korea to ask Japan (as a father) for monetary assistance and/or as something rather close to a domestic affair between Japan and south korea. It strongly suggests that they were under the impression that south korea had been closely related to Japan since Japan-Korea annexation in 1910.
More precisely, they were tricked by the govt of south korea to believe that the govt of south korea would no longer harass Japan over the issue once Japan somehow pretended to admit Japan's fault (Note: Neither the Government of Great Imperial Japan nor the Great Imperial Japanese Army was involved in coercing comfort women into the plight the govt of south korea has been hassling about since no evidence to substantiate its claim has been presented.), in hopes that Japan-south korea relations would improve.
