In 1905, Meiji administration included Takeshima into Japanese territory and the islands came to belong to Japan from the point of view of international laws. But after the war, GHQ excluded the property right of them from the jurisdiction of Japan. Regarding this as a pretext, on Jan. 18, 1952, Korean first president Rhee unilaterally set the Syngman Rhee line to proclaim the ocean sovereignty of Korea inside of the line and get the exclusive right to exploiting fisheries resourses around the islands. So as all the world can see, Koreans are not entitled to claiming its exclusive right to the islands.
