Dokdo (Takeshima) is a group of islets in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) whose sovereignty remains unsettled. [1] The islets are claimed by both Japan and South Korea, but have been occupied by South Korea since 1954 despite repeated protests by Japan. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Takeshima is Japanese name which was officially named when Japan incorporated it into Shimane Prefecture in 1905.[10] And, Dokdo is Korean name which Koreans formally named in 1906 after Japan notified its incroporation to Korea.[11] [12] The islets had been also known as the Liancourt Rocks in English since the French whaling ship charted the islets in 1849.

Japanese claims are based on seventeenth century records and a reconmfirmation of the Japanese intention to possess it by its incorporation to the Shimane Prefecture in 1905. [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]Japan designates the islets as a part of Okinoshima Town of the Oki District in Shimane Prefecture.[19]

Korean claims are based on records that date back to the sixth century, including the 1900 Korean Empire ordinance that officially incorporated Dokdo into the modern-day Ulleung County of the Gyeongsangbuk-do.

The measures to incorporate Takeshima into Shimane Prefecture in 1905, through the Cabinet decision and notification by Shimane Prefecture reaffirmed the intention of the Japanese government to claim territorial rights as a modern nation over Takeshima. There were no indications that Japan did not hold territorial rights prior to that, nor were there any counter claims by any other country of territorial rights over Takeshima. In addition, the incorporation of Takeshima was reported in the newspapers and was not undertaken secretly, hence it can be seen to have been implemented validly. {{cite press release}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)

Meaning of "critical date":In international law the point of time falling at the end of a period within which the material facts of dispute are said to have occurred is usually called the "critical date." It is also the date after which the actions of the parties to a dispute can no longer affect issue. It is exclusionary, and it is terminal. Hence is most frequently resorted to in territorial disputes to indicate the period within which a party should be able to show the consolidation of its title or its fulfillment of the requirement of the doctrine of occupation.[1]
