Abstract

Dakeshima Issue Research Institute of Shimane Prefectural Government in Japan makes false documents about Dokdo(Liancourt Rocks or Dakeshima) －Focusing on the San Francisco Peace Treaty and Dean Rusk's letter－ Yoo, Byeong-Koo Korean people have known Dokdo or Liancourt Rocks from ancient times and have been catching fish around the island. However, Japan incorporated the island into the Shimane Prefectural Government illegally without asking the Korean Government's permission. Such behavior of Japan means an act of territorial aggression. Japan has deceived the U.S.A and the world by giving them false information about Dokdo. Japan says that Dokdo had not belonged to any country before 1905. But Korea has many old documents showing that Dokdo belongs to Korea. For example, Kim Bu-Sik's book, Samkusaki(1145), says that Dokdo belonged to Korea in 512. The Korean Empire Ordinance 41 on October 25, 1900 also says that Dokdo belongs to Korea. The first five drafts of the San Francisco Peace Treaty says that Dokdo belongs to Korea. But because Japan gave false information to U.S.A and other countries, the final draft of the treaty does not include Dokdo. However, the San Francisco Peace Treaty does not mean that Dokdo belongs to Japan. This paper shows how Japan has been deceiving many countries including the U.S.A. about the island from the past up until now. The Japanese government and Dakeshima Issue Research Institute of Shimane Prefectural Government in Japan should stop the fabricated reports about Dokdo.
