Under the treaty, Japan renounced its sovereignty claims over the Spratly and the Paracel Islands, but did not reassign them to any single country. As a result, these islands remain legally under the collective custody of the treaty’s 48 other parties – including two claimants to the islands, the Philippines and Vietnam.
条约规定日本放弃对南沙及西沙群岛的主权要求，但并没有规定向哪个国家移交主权。因此相关岛屿依然由条约的其他48个缔约国集体代管——其中包括菲律宾和越南两个主权要求国。
