Abstract:
The territorial dispute between Japan and Russia has been ongoing since century and did not come up with satisfying solution yet. The disputed Islands were Shikotan, Habomai, Etorofu, Kunashiri and Kurile chain. In San Francisco Treaty there were divisions of the two Islands among the country but like all the time, Japan claims all the four Islands as it was their historically integrated part. However, it has soured the bilateral relations for more than centuries and many treaties were signed for peaceful co-existence but unsuccessful. Both the side gave their valid arguments for the territories they claim and it is difficult to find out a solutions.
