Article 2には、日本が放棄する領土として済州島、巨文島、鬱陵島が記載されている。しかしながら、現竹島は記載されていない。韓国側は、平和条約において現竹島は鬱陵島の付属島の扱いであるので、「日本が放棄する領土」に現竹島が含まれているから韓国領土であると歪曲主張する。

11において、Scapin677や1033があくまでも現竹島を日本の行政権からはずし、占領軍に移管する旨の指令でありこれが日本の領土の最終決定ではなく、対日講和条約によって決まると、かくScapin指令にきちんと記載されている事が確認されている。ここでは、その対日講和条約、つまりサンフランシスコ平和条約がどのような過程で草案がなされ、現竹島の検討が行われてきたか、そして平和条約における現竹島の地位は如何なるものであるか、過程を追って説明する。

サンフランシスコ平和条約の草案の変遷をたどってみると、現竹島は鬱陵島とは別個に表¥記、記載され、検討されていた経緯があることが確認できる。最終的にはサンフランシスコ平和条約において日本が放棄する領土に現竹島は含まれない事になる。　韓国側は、サンフランシスコ平和条約において現竹島は鬱陵島の付属島嶼扱いで、条約上も韓国領土であると歪曲主張をするが、これは草案の変遷をたどってみれば嘘である事が簡単にわかる。


それでは、その対日講和条約の草案の変遷をたどってみる

Attached is a new draft of the treaty. The principal changes, comparing it with the November 2 draft, are as follows:

Article3の歯舞、色丹と現竹島が日本の領土として含めれれると記載される。

3. The Habomais and Shikotan and Liancourt Rocks have been include within the new Japan

(Drafts embodying Sebold¥"s proposal for a very brief territorial chapter in which Japan would simply renounce all rights and titles to areas which Japan would simply renounce all rights and titles to areas which it is not to keep and the Allied and Associated Powers would dipose of those areas in a separate agreement, were prepared and considered, but it was decided after talking with Mr. Fisher that this arrangement would weaken our hold on Fomasa, Sahalien, and the Kuriles if the Chinese and Soviets did not participate, and the idea was accordingly dropped.)

1950年7月のCommentary on Draft Treaty by the Department of State on July, 1950

The Islands of the Inland Sea, Oki Retto, Sado, Okujiri, Rebun and Rishiri – These islands and lesser islands in the Japan Sea east of Tsushima, Takeshima and Rebun are almost exclusively populated by Japanese, have long been recognized as Japanese, were not “ taken by violence and greed”, and are closer to Japan than to any other nation. None has been claimed by another power and Japan’s right to retain them is not likely to be questioned in the treaty negotiation. In 1948 the population of Oki Retto was 44,000, of Sado 125,000, of Okujiri 7,000, of Rebun 9,000, and of Riishiri 20,000.

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

Dulles 国務長官は、韓国大使Yu Chan Yangに対して、現竹島と波浪島の位置を訪ねMrHanはそれはたぶん日本海に有り、鬱陵島の近くだと回答する。また、Dullesはこれら二島が併合前に朝鮮領土であったのならば、日本が放棄する領土に含むことは問題がないと回答する。

In his attached memorandum, Mr. Boggs states that although he has ¥"tried all resources in Washington¥" he has been unable to identify Dokdo and Parangdo, mentioned in the Korean Embassy¥"s note. On re-ceiving Boggs¥"s memo. I asked the Korean desk to find out whether anyone in the Korean Embassy officer had told him they believed Dokdo was near Ullengdo, or Takeshima Rock, and suspected that Parangdo was too. Apparently that is all Korean short of a cable to Muccio.

1951.08.10日付けDean Ruskによる外交書簡 Diplomatic note by Dean Rusk on August 10, 1951　において、現竹島は日本の領土であると回答。

With respect to request of the Korean Government that Article 2(a) of the draft be revised to provide that Japan ¥"confirms that it renounced on August 9, 1945, all right, title and claim to Korea and the islands which were part of Korea prior to its annexation by Japan, including the islands Quelpart, Port Hamilton, Dagelet, Dokdo and Parangdo,¥" the United States Government regrets that it is unable to concur in this proposed amendment. The United States Government does not feel that the Treaty should adopt the theory that Japan¥"s acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration on August 9, 1945 constituted a formal or final renunciation of sovereignty by Japan over the areas dealt with in the Declaration. As regards the island of Dokdo, otherwise known as Takeshima or Liancourt Rocks, this normally uninhabited rock formation was according to our information never treated as part of Korea and, since about 1905, has been under the jurisdiction of the Oki Islands Branch Office of Shimane Prefecture of Japan. The island does not appear ever before to have been claimed by Korea. It is understood that the Korean Government¥"s request that ¥"Parangdo¥" be included among the islands named in the treaty as having been renounced by Japan has been withdrawn.
