Korea as the terrorist nation, the illegal occupation of Takeshima still goes on

"Syngman Rhee Line" from wikipedia

The Syngman Rhee Line refers to a boundary line established by South Korean President Syngman Rhee in his "Peace Line" declaration of January 18, 1952, which included the Liancourt Rocks in Korean territory.

Rhee stated that the purpose of the line was to protect Korea's marine resources around the Sea of Japan (East Sea); therefore it banned non-Korean fishing boats from inside the territory, and Liancourt Rocks in particular.

Korea hoped to participate in San Francisco Peace Treaty of World War II as the victorious nation, but there was not the fact that allied powers approved Republic of Korea provisional government, and it was refused by U.K. and U.S.A.

In addition, they insisted that Tsushima, Parangdo, Takeshima was their own country territory, but Tsushima was Japan territory, and Parangdo did not exist.

South Korea had demanded that the MacArthur line established after World War II continue to be enforced, though on August 10, 1951, the United States sent Korean Ambassador Yang You Chan the Rusk documents, stating that the official policy of the United States was that the MacArthur line would be abolished by the Treaty of San Francisco.

The treaty was signed on September 8 of the same year, about a month after the documents were sent, and was to come into effect on April 28, 1952.

In response, the South Korean government declared the Syngman Rhee Line three months before this date, when the extinction of the MacArthur line and the return of sovereignty to Japan were meant to be established.

According to the Report of Van Fleet Mission to Far East made in 1954, the U.S. government maintained that the one-sided declaration of the Syngman Rhee Line was illegal under international law.

The fishing boats- which were mostly Japanese- that violated the boundary line were seized by South Korea.
Japanese records claim that such ships were often fired upon.

The Japanese government protested the seizures and unilateral declaration strongly, but the abolition of the line had to wait even for the approval of the Japan-Korea Fishery Agreement in 1965.
By the time an agreement was reached, 3929 Japanese people were arrested, of whom 44 were killed, and 328 Japanese ships were seized.

Japanese fishermen were forced to inferior detention life by the Korean government for several years.
As for them, 30 people were pushed into the room approximately 6 tatamis.

At the behest of the South Korean government, in exchange for the release of Japanese fisherman detained as a result of the line, the Japanese government released 472 Koreans in Japan who had been imprisoned as criminals. Those released gained the permission of residence (they became Zainichi).

On the other hand, the Korean government agreed to the return of the Japanese detained person, but Korea refused the forced repatriation of the Korean illegal immigrant whom Japanese Government disclosed and Korea required Japan to free them in Japan.

Solving the problem required many years. Obstacles to its settlement included the fact that there were no formal diplomatic relations between Japan and South Korea at the time, that normalization talks were complicated by various compensation claims, and the refusal of the United States to intervene on the issue, regarding it as bilateral.

Korea announced the Syngman Rhee declaration as Korea Government statement on January 27, 1952.
The Korean government considered that Syngman Rhee Line was established in international law.
The main claims are as follows.
#the Lee Sung-man line and the government of Truman Doctrine and Declaration by Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Costa Rican countries are the same character
#The MacArthur line continues effectively
#The position of the contiguous zone is established in international law, and the absolute freedom of the fishery is not accepted in contiguous zone

Lee Sung-man line is apparent being different from Truman Doctrine by the protest to the declaration of South America countries by U.S.A., and the continuation of the MacArthur line is refused by "Rusk documents" by U.S.A.

The Korean government established the fishery monopoly for 60 nautical miles as contiguous zone. At that time, the contiguous zone which U.S.A., the U.K. insisted on was 12 nautical miles (22km) , and France insisted on was 20km. The contiguous zone meant the area of the sea that could use jurisdiction limited for a duty and quarantine inspection and was not the area of the sea for fishery monopolies.

  • @06ryu17 even your old japanese maps have claimed that Dokdo is Korean and the government itself came out admitting that it is korean territory. Then, they suddenly change their minds. furthermore the 20% of the MOFA argument is based on US beliefs and opinions. Where is the solid proof in the maps, naval maritime logs and maps? SK was able to dig all of that up and such proof exists in the US Nat'l Library among other places.

  • so you use wikipedia as your sources for this video? how reliable do you think these sources are? clearly not very. Maybe this video will have more impact once you use reliable sources. meaning something other than wikipedia...

  • 3goku

    "He that will lie will steal"

    The words appropriate to the Korean.

    The Japanese Government continues saying. "Takeshima territory of Japan".

    In the world history, Takeshima shows a territory of Japan.

    Only in Korea where it is ignorant not to understand it.

    The terrorist nation where Korea ignored the international law.

    South Korea is continuing carrying out illegal occupation by Takeshima.

  • Okay, then why is the Helipad in Dokdo coded RKDO? RK is an identifier for airports in the Incheon FIR.

    Also, Dokdo is actually inside the Incheon FIR, meaning the airspace boundaries are far more east than Dokdo. About 60 nautical miles.

    This is what ICAO set, people.

    Oh, and if you don't know what FIR is, it means Flight Information Range, which is boundaries for providing info and controlling aircrafts

  • 日本人はこれを必ず見る必要かある、と言うか、見なければならな­いと、思います。絶対に知らなければならない事です。

  • I say who the fuck cares if its dokdo or takeshima.
