JULY WEBINAR
THURSDAY JULY 21, 2022 7PM-8PM CDT

About the Webinar

It is very unfortunate that there is still controversy over our relationship with Japan regarding Dokdo, our precious territory.

In order to protect Korea's territorial sovereignty over Dokdo, it is necessary to convey our arguments convincingly to Japanese and other foreigners based on accurate historical facts and international legal logic.

In this lecture, we will calmly look at the Dokdo issue from an international legal and historical perspective and think about our countermeasures against Dokdo together.
