竹島の領有権に関する我が国の一貫した立場
竹島は、歴史的事実に照らしても、かつ国際法上も明らかに我が国固有の領土です。
韓国による竹島の占拠は、国際法上何ら根拠がないまま行われている不法占拠であり、韓国がこのような不法占拠に基づいて竹島に対して行ういかなる措置も法的な正当性を有するものではありません。
※韓国側からは、我が国が竹島を実効的に支配し、領有権を確立した以前に、韓国が同島を実効的に支配していたことを示す明確な根拠は提示されていません。

The Issue of Takeshima
(Japanese) / (Korean)
Japan's Inalterable Position on the Sovereignty of Takeshima
In the light of historical facts and based upon international law, it is apparent that Takeshima is an inherent part of the territory of Japan.
The occupation of Takeshima by the Republic of Korea is an illegal occupation undertaken on absolutely no basis in international law. Any measures taken with regard to Takeshima by the Republic of Korea based on such an illegal occupation have no legal justification.
(Note: The Republic of Korea has yet to demonstrate a clear basis for its claims that, prior to Japan's effective control over Takeshima and establishment of sovereignty, the Republic of Korea had previously demonstrated effective control over Takeshima.)

Takeshima
Takeshima is a group of islands that is situated on the Sea of Japan at a latitude of 37º 14'N and a longitude of 131º 52'E, 157 kilometers northwest of Oki Island, Shimane Prefecture. Takeshima is part of Okinoshima Town of Shimane Prefecture.
The combined area of the two main islands, the East Island (Onnajima) and the West Island (Otokojima), and numerous small reefs is 0.21 square kilometers (about the same size as Hibiya Park in Tokyo).
Both are precipitous volcanic islands, and cliffs abut the coastline on all sides. The islands have scarce vegetation and drinking water resources.
