台湾当局与日本对琉球“剩余主权”说

The Taiwan Authorities Questioning Japan to Retain Residual Sovereignty of the Ryukyu Islands

1951年9月8日,美国及其他国家在旧金山签署了《与日媾和条约》。日本同意将北纬29度以南的南西诸岛(包括琉球群岛和大东群岛)、孀妇岩岛以南的南方诸岛(包括小笠原群岛、西之岛、琉磺列岛)、冲之鸟礁、南鸟岛置于联合国托管制度之下,而以美国为唯一管理当局。为了扶持日本,1971年6月17日,美国与日本签署协定,决定将琉球群岛中南部地区、大东诸岛、钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿移交日本管辖。自1953年至1972年,台湾当局与美国政府持续沟通,公开发表声明,指出美国此举将挑战《开罗宣言》、《波茨坦宣言》,质疑所谓的“剩余主权”说,缺乏国际法依据,试图劝说美国,应根据对日和约第三条,将琉球群岛置于联合国托管制度下。

The U.S.and its allies signed Treaty of Peace With Japan in San Francisco on September 8,1951.Japan concurred to place Nansei Shoto south of 29°N.latitude(including the Ryukyu Islands and the Daito Islands),Nanpo Shoto south of Sofu Gan(including the Bonin Islands,Rosario Island and the Volcano Islands)and Parece Vela and Marcus Island under the trusteeship system of the United Nations with the United States as the sole administering authority.In order to strengthen Japan,the U.S.signed the agreement with Japan on June 17,1971,that promised to relinquish Japan the administrative power of the Ryukyu Islands,including Diaoyu Islands.From 1953 to 1972,having communicated with the government of the U.S.,the Taiwan authorities pointed out the result of the agreements that would challenge the Cairo Declaration and the Postdam Declaration through publishing the statements,questioned so called“residual sovereignty”lacking in the foundation of international law,and tried to persuade the U.S.to place the Ryukyu Islands under the trusteeship system of the United Nations according to Article 3 of San Francisco Peace Treaty.
