Abstract

The Japanese government asked the Korean government to resolve the Dokdo issue with the International Court of Justice. The Japanese government has asked for three joint lawsuits so far. The Korean government refused all of this. The purpose of this study is to analyze the reasons why Japan requested joint litigation. To this end, the minutes of the National Assembly of Japan from 2005 to 2018 were divided by period.In February 2005, Shimane Prefecture established 'takeshima day'. The Korean government protested. At that time, Japan 's opposition lawmakers insisted on the Japanese government to resolve the issue of takeshima in the International Court of Justice. In response, the Japanese government has submitted a joint petition to Korea two or three times in the past, but it has been rejected. He also said he was reviewing the most appropriate method. As such, the Japanese government repeated only formal responses. And that it is impossible to resolve it by a third party's adjustment.In 2011, the Korean government plans to expand the helipad and build a marine science base on Dokdo. In the Japanese parliament, the opposition member again insisted that the International Court of Justice should resolve the Dokdo issue. The Japanese government responded the same as before. The opposition lawmakers then argued that if a joint litigation is not possible, a single litigation must be filed. In response, the Japanese government responded that it was looking for the most appropriate method considering various situations. There is a reason for the Japanese government to continue this same answer to the opposition lawmakers' claims. This is because former governments have tolerated the effective domination of Korea diplomatically. And the Korea-Japan agreement. Therefore, the Japanese government does not lead the 'takeshima day' or the 'independent litigation' to the International Court of Justice. This is because Dokdo has no territorial authority to become Japanese territory. Therefore, the Japanese government acknowledges that Dokdo is not a disputed area.
