The contribution aims at analysing the role of international solidarity movements in seeking justice for international war crimes against women. Through the example of the ‘comfort women’ case, the article examines the ways in which these international solidarity movements have used international law instruments and institutions to promote the idea of an individual right to reparation as a means by which victims can obtain justice. Two specific legal features of this case show the international solidarity movements’ engagement with international law over the last decades: first, the establishment of the Women’s Tokyo Tribunal, and, second, the judicial mobilisation of international civil society actors before national courts. It is argued that the international solidarity movements have informed the legal concepts, paradigms, and language used to legally analyse the ‘comfort women’ case, and, to a certain extent, they have influenced some recent jurisprudential developments, especially in the legal arguments invoked by the national courts that have decided on the claims of ‘comfort women’. Ultimately, the ‘comfort women’ case demonstrates how the solidarity of international civil society actors towards a specific group of victims can be essential in order, first, to achieve post-conflict justice and, second, to progressively develop international law towards the advancement of legal standards of protection for individuals.

该文稿旨在分析国际团结运动在为针对妇女的国际战争罪寻求正义方面的作用。通过“慰安妇”案例的例子，本文考察了这些国际团结运动如何利用国际法文书和机构来促进个人获得赔偿权的理念，以此作为受害者获得正义的一种手段。本案的两个具体法律特征显示了国际团结运动在过去几十年中对国际法的参与：首先，设立妇女东京法庭，其次，国际民间社会行为者在国家法院的司法动员。有人认为，国际团结运动已经为法律概念、范式、以及用于对“慰安妇”案件进行法律分析的语言，并且在一定程度上影响了最近的一些法学发展，特别是在对“慰安妇”的索赔作出裁决的国家法院援引的法律论据中。最终，“慰安妇”案表明，国际民间社会行动者对特定受害者群体的声援对于首先实现冲突后正义以及其次逐步发展国际法以促进保护个人的法律标准。
