However, the 1943 Cairo Declaration, which stipulated the Allied Powers’ basic position on Japan’s territorial boundaries after WWII, stated that Japan would be expelled from all territories that it had annexed through violence. In this context, the unconditional return of Dokdo to Korea – and Korea’s continued sovereignty over Dokdo – is indisputable.
但是，确定同盟国战后对日领土疆界的基本立场的1943年开罗宣言中规定，日本必须强迫归还所有通过暴力占领的领土。根据开罗宣言，无条件将独岛归还韩国——以及韩国继续行驶独岛主权——是毫无争议的。
