띠아오위따오/센카쿠렛토 분쟁의 쟁점과 독도에의 함의 = Dispute on the Territoriality over Diaoyudao/Senkaku Islands and Its Implication over Dokdo

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Diaoyudao consists of a group of small islands located at a distance of about 170km from the northeast coast of Taiwan, 330km away from the Chinese mainland, 170km away from the north of Ishigaki Island, and 410km away from the west coast of Okinawa. Diaoyudao is known as Senkakushoto or Senkakuretto in Japanese. As we can see from the island`s geographic features, being equally distant from Taiwan and Okinawa, conflict between China and Japan over the territoriality of Diaoyudao was always within the realm of possibility. In addition, it was not easy for a country to rule Diaoyudao effectively, as it was not suitable for permanent human habitation and there was no need for China and Japan as well as Ryukyu to do so. Since 1971, Sino-Japanese territorial dispute over Diaoyudao has been one of the most difficult disputes in the world, as the islands are located in the area rich in hydrocarbon resources as well as strategically important for both countries. China and Japan stick to their respective opinions that the territoriality of its own country over the islands is unquestionable under international law or from historical point of view. As there is a great difference of opinions between the two states, the propriety of territorial disputes around these islands does not look to be resolved in the near future. By the way, we can not help paying attention to the progress of this dispute. It is because there is considerable similarity between Sino-Japanese territorial dispute over Diaoyudao and Korea-Japan conflict over Dokdo. After examining relevant historical and legal issues relating to this dispute, we should prepare for the incessant Japan`s territorial claim over Dokdo. Taking into account these circumstances, this article surveys the issue of Diaoyudao out of Japan`s territorial disputes, placing stress on name, history, state position, legal issue, and implication to Dokdo. Today, both China and Japan continue to have a variety of opposing opinions in connection with the territoriality over Diaoyudao. From the perspective of a third party, it may not be easy to regard the opinion of a state party as appropriate. Provided that one considers the historical aspects only, it seems hard to deny that the Chinese opinion is more persuasive.
