Tratado Joseon-Estados Unidos de 1882

El Tratado de Paz, Amistad, Comercio y Navegación^[1] (coreano: 조·미수호통상조약, hanja: 朝美修好通商條約), también conocido como el Tratado de Shufeldt, fue negociado entre representantes de los Estados Unidos y la dinastía Joseon de Corea en 1882.^[2]

El borrador final fue aceptado en Chemulpo (actual Incheon) cerca de la capital coreana de Hanseong (Seúl) en abril y mayo de 1884.^[3]

Antecedentes

En 1876, Corea estableció un tratado comercial con Japón después de que los barcos japoneses se acercaran a Ganghwado y amenazaran con disparar contra la capital coreana. Las negociaciones del tratado con los estadounidenses y con varios países europeos fueron posibles gracias a la finalización de esta obertura japonesa inicial.^[4]

Las negociaciones con China fueron una característica importante del proceso que resultó en este tratado.^[5]

Disposiciones del tratado

Estados Unidos y Corea negociaron y aprobaron un tratado de 14 artículos. El tratado estableció amistad mutua y asistencia mutua en caso de ataque; y el tratado también abordó asuntos tan específicos como los derechos extraterritoriales para los ciudadanos estadounidenses en Corea y el estatus comercial de nación más favorecida.^[1]^[6]

Extracto

El tratado abarca una variedad de temas.

El artículo 1 establecía:

Habrá paz y amistad perpetuas entre el presidente de los Estados Unidos y el rey de los elegidos y los ciudadanos y súbditos de sus respectivos gobiernos. Si otras potencias tratan injusta u opresivamente con cualquiera de los gobiernos, la otra ejercerá sus buenos oficios al ser informados del caso para lograr un acuerdo amistoso, mostrando así sus sentimientos amistosos.^[6]

Artículo 2: intercambio de representantes diplomáticos y consulares
Artículo 3: naves de los Estados Unidos naufragadas en la costa de Corea
Artículo 4: jurisdicción extraterritorial de los Estados Unidos sobre sus ciudadanos en Corea
Artículo 5: los comerciantes y los buques mercantes deberán pagar recíprocamente los derechos
Artículo 6: derechos recíprocos de residencia y protección de los ciudadanos de ambas naciones.
Artículo 7: que prohíbe la exportación o importación de opio
Artículo 8: exportación de "productos alimenticios" y ginseng rojo
Artículo 9: que regula la importación de armas y municiones
Artículo 10: derechos recíprocos al empleo de mano de obra nativa
Artículo 11: intercambios de estudiantes
Artículo 14: la cláusula habitual de la nación más favorecida

El tratado se mantuvo vigente hasta la anexión de Corea en 1910.^[6]

Consecuencias

El tratado de los Estados Unidos estableció una plantilla que fue modelada explícitamente en tratados con otras naciones occidentales: Alemania en 1883, Rusia e Italia en 1884, Francia en 1886 y otros también.^[7]

El tratado permaneció vigente incluso después de que se estableciera el protectorado japonés en 1905,^[8] pero terminó con la anexión japonesa de Corea en 1910.

As though to emphasize the international effect of this treaty in recognizing this national entity, China protested the sending of Korean ministers to the United States, claiming suzerainty over Korea. The protest was patiently and fully considered on its merits and was overruled. Later China, conceding the position of the United States, also recognized, by specific treaty the independence and separate entity of Korea.
