San Francisco Peace Treaty and Provisions of the Government of the Ryukyu Islands (US Civil Administration Ordinance No. 68)

The 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty does not explicitly mention the Senkaku Islands. However Article I of US Civil Administration Ordinance No. 68, the Provisions of the Government of the Ryukyu Islands, gives the longitude and latitude within which the Ryukyu government was to have jurisdiction, and the Senkaku Islands are located within this area. The ordinance was announced on February 29, 1952, and implemented on April 1 of the same year. (Ref. 1)
