日本国島根県竹島 Takeshima, Shimane Prefecture, Japan
The United States reportedly called on Japan and south korea to resolve differences through dialogue as tensions took a farcical turn.
However, the United States must be reminded that south korea is the one who has been instigating outrageous and absurd unrest in the Far East by refusing to appear at International Court of Justice while Japan has consistently and calmly held her firm position that Takeshima islets issue should be settled at International Court of Justice for decades, as suggested by U.S. ambassador Van Fleet.
The Ambassador clearly stated in his report that Takeshima remained under Japanese sovereignty and it was not included among the islands that Japan released from its ownership under the San Francisco Peace Treaty. He further stated that the dispute might properly be referred to the International Court of Justice and this suggestion has been informally conveyed to the Republic of Korea. (See the attached for details.)
Therefore, the statement (U.S. calls on Japan, S Korea to resolve isle dispute ) made by the United States State Department on Thursday August 23 regrettably contradicts her own ambassador's famous statement.
No disputable reasons exist; however, South Korea invaded Takeshima in 1952 when Japan was still under the U.S. occupation. Takeshima has been illegally occupied by South Korea since then. As Japan was powerless and placed under the U.S. occupation at the time of invasion into Takeshima by South Korea and as the United States failed to protect Japan's territory, the United States must assume full responsibility at least for facilitating settlement of the issue still existing between Japan and south korea.
Or, the United States should demand south korea to immediately appear at International Court of Justice as peacefully and repeatedly requested by the Government of Japan.
