Dokdo Research Needs Diverse Specialists The 25th of October was the day Emperor Gojong stipulated in 1900 through Imperial Edict no. 41 that the island Dokdo is an annex of the island Ulleungdo. To commemorate the occasion, several civic organizations and local governments host a variety of events every year. This month's interview therefore takes the opportunity to learn more about Dokdo from Dr. Kim Byung-ryul who has formerly served as professor at Korea National Defense University and has extensively studied and published works on the island.

The Korean Provisional Government's International Legal Status and Legitimacy Since 2008, controversies have continued to arise over exactly when the Republic of Korea was founded, including the most recent one sparked because of the state-issued history textbook. Lying underneath such controversies is a complex combination of diverse legal and historical interpretations about whether the Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty of 1910 can be regarded as the dissolution of the Empire of Korea, whether the Korean Provisional Government formed in 1919 was formally recognized, and what the establishment of the Republic of Korea’s government in 1948 means. In order to discover the “creation of state in international law” in the case of Korea, this article considers the theory and practice of general international law on “recognition of state” and “recognition of government,” and attempts to determine the international legal meaning of the Republic of Korea’s foundation. The term “legal legitimacy” in this article refers to "identity of state," and “legitimacy” refers to "legitimacy of government" in this article.

Reviewing Korean and Japanese Material and Maps Related to Dokdo With October being the month of Dokdo in Korea, the Northeast Asian History Foundation jointly hosted an academic conference on October 20, 2017 with Yeungnam University's Dokdo Institute, the Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology's Oceans Law & Legal Regime Research Section, and the Korea Maritime Institute's Dokdo Research Center. The conference's theme was "A Historical and International Legal Review of Modern Korean and Japanese Material and Maps Related to Dokdo." Since Japan revised its elementary and junior high school curriculum guidelines and commentaries for such guidelines in February 2017, it has become mandatory for all elementary and junior high school social studies textbooks to include the description that "Dokdo is an inherent territory of Japan." And Japan's provocations pertaining to the island have continued with explicit claims of territorial sovereignty over Dokdo made not only by the country's prime minister, but displayed on websites of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet Secretariat's Office of Policy Planning and Coordination on Territory and Sovereignty. These circumstances gave purpose for Korean institutes researching Dokdo issues to jointly review material and maps related to the island so as to examine historical truths about Dokdo and its international legal status. The following offers an outline of the six papers presented at the conference.
