		Dokdo (or Tokdo) (Dakesima in Japanese) belongs to Korea.

		The shortest distance to Dokdo is 220.354 kilometers from Jukbyeon, Uljin county of North Gyeonsang province, and Dokdo is the far east Korean territory.

		When Korea was liberated on August 15, 1945, based on the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Declaration, and the document of Japan's surrender, the Supreme Command for the Allied Powers (SCAP) ordered that all "territories seized through violence or greed or wars of aggression after 1894" be returned to their original owners.
		At the time that the government of the Republic of Korea was established in 1948, Dokdo was also transferred to Korean control from the U.S. military government in accordance with international law.

		The timing cannot be any any worse - a mass movement to expose pro-Japanese Koreans has been going on in South Korea and Japan's claim to the island is adding fuel to the movement and not helping their stooges in Korea.
		Japanese Foreign Minister Yukihiko Ikeda has stated in a nationally televised Nihon news conference that Dokdo is clearly part of our territory from the viewpoint of history and international laws, and I find South Korea's action (to build a wh arf on the island) extremely regrettable.

		Although Dokdo has appeared in calendars from the Korean Travel Bureau, this is the first time it has appeared in a publication directly controlled by the government.
		When Korea ran its first flight of a converted F-15 (dubbed the ‘K-16′) they chose to fly over Dokdo - for no other reason than to provoke the Japanese, and perhaps to ‘bravely’ sabre rattle at the Japanese that have stated that they will only use peaceful means to get Takeshima (Dokdo) back.
