A quick resolution of the Senkaku Islands dispute (or of Japan’s lower-profile conflict with South Korea over the Korean-controlled Liancourt Rocks) is improbable, but Japan could be more proactive. For example, by stating their willingness to take any territorial disputes to the International Court of Justice, Japanese authorities could help to dispel perceptions of militarism.
快速解决尖阁群岛争端（抑或没那么显眼的日本和韩国就韩属独岛的争端）是不可能的，但日本却可以更加主动。比方说，借声明愿意把任何领土争端交由国际法院仲裁，日本政府或许可以消除军国主义的名声。
