ABSTRACT

In the San Francisco Peace Treaty, there is a so-called ‘Korean article’ in Chapter 2 (Territory), Article 2 (a): “Japan, recognizing the independence of Korea, renounces all right, title and claim to Korea, including the islands of Quelpart, Port Hamilton and Dagelet.” While this suggests that Japan recognizes Korea’s independence and that it relinquishes all rights to Korea, Dokdo is not explicitly mentioned as part of the territory that Japan has to return to Korea, thus leading to a discord in the interpretation of article (a). Therefore, this paper argues that through the interpretation of article (a), there is a limitation to the claim that Dokdo is Japan’s territory.
