Outrageous Refusal of Three Japanese Lawmakers to Enter South Korea

@wjsfree: Korean ferry ban on Japanese irks #Tokyo http://j.mp/pqkkh4 Japs can't land on Dokdo. Because #Dokdo is territory of Korea! -end of tweet-  @YonhapNews: U.N. chief calls for 'intellectual social responsibility' http://bit.ly/qiwSJn -end of tweet- My comment: While South Korea discusses "social responsibility" with UN Chief placing a greater emphasis on involvement of intellectuals and academics, South Korea has neglected a basic rule in the international community. That is, to observe an internationally recognized rule of reciprocity. Japan welcomed a mission consisting of South Korean parliamentarians, intellectuals, academics, etc. to visit Takeshima museum in Shimane Prefecture on February 22. However, South Korea flatly and outrageously rejected three Japanese lawmakers to enter South Korea for the purpose of visiting Ulleung Island where South Korea has a museum displaying articles related to its territorial claim over Takeshima islets. This is not only a total denial of reciprocity but also a violation of Article 13-1-3 of South Korean Immigration Control Law. South Korean government must be accountable for the occurrence of the unprecedented incident between Japan and South Korea still said to be maintaining the closest relations in many respects.
