Advice, Albert Einstein
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Allied powers did not accept Japan’s claim over Dokdo
Tokyo’s assertions over peace treaty invalid
The San Francisco Peace Treaty signed by Japan and the Allied Powers in 1951 following World War II fell short of clearly defining the legal ownership of Dokdo, rocky islets sitting midway between Korea and Japan in the East Sea.
Thus, questions remain on how we should interpret the ambiguity of the treaty, which officially ended the war with Japan and what prompted the Allied Powers, including the United States, to decide to omit Dokdo from it.
With the aim of exploring the opposing claims of Seoul and Tokyo over the contentious issue, The Korea Times and the Northeast Asian History Foundation jointly organized the 3rd International Dokdo Essay Contest this year.
