Liancourt Rocks
The Liancourt Rocks are a group of small islands in the East Sea. The islands are currently occupied under the South Korean armed police. The name Liancourt Rocks comes from the French whaling ship Liancourt. The people on the Liancourt made a map of the islands in 1849. The islands have been in dispute for some time by both Korea and Japan. Japan has been suggesting to settle the dispute in International Court of Justice, but the South Korean government has refused the request.
