JAPAN READOPTS HARD-LINE STANCE ON TERRITORIAL DISPUTE WITH RUSSIA



Tokyo has returned to a hard-line stance in its decades-long territorial dispute
with Moscow following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, stating in its annual
foreign policy report released Friday that four northern islands are "illegally
occupied" by Russia.





The wording on the status of the islands, off Japan's northernmost main island
of Hokkaido, used in the 2022 Diplomatic Bluebook appeared for the first time
since the 2003 report, highlighting Tokyo's departure from a conciliatory
approach toward Moscow.

The dispute over the islands -- Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan and the Habomai
islet group -- stems from their seizure by the Soviet Union, Russia's
predecessor state, in the weeks following Japan's World War II surrender on Aug.
15, 1945. It has prevented the two nations from signing a peace treaty.

The bluebook also said the islands, called the Southern Kurils in Russia and the
Northern Territories in Japan, are an "inherent" part of the territory of Japan,
a description that had been absent since the 2011 report.

"The Northern Territories are islands over which Japan has sovereignty, and are
an inherent part of the territory of Japan, but now are illegally occupied by
Russia," the bluebook said.

Calling the Russian invasion of Ukraine "an outrage that undermines the
foundation of the international order not only in Europe but also in Asia," the
report said the current circumstances leave the prospects for an outcome in the
territorial talks uncertain.

The Japanese government strongly demands that Russia heed the criticism of the
international community, withdraw its troops from Ukraine and comply with
international law, the report states. Japan has imposed economic sanctions in
line with Western nations since the invasion began on Feb. 24.

The administration of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hoped that progress in
negotiations on the territorial issue would lead to the return of some of the
islands based on a 1956 bilateral treaty.

During his tenure from December 2012 through September 2020, Abe met with
Russian President Vladimir Putin over 20 times without a breakthrough.

Under the 1956 pact, the Soviet Union agreed to return some of the islands upon
the conclusion of a peace treaty.
