Sunday marks the 70th anniversary of the Cairo Declaration, which called for the unconditional surrender of Japan, and the return of all its occupied territories, including the Diaoyu Islands.
The Declaration asked Japan to return Northeast China, Taiwan and the Pescadores Island chain. The Pescadores includes the Diaoyu Islands, which are part of a long running territorial dispute between China and Japan.
The document was signed in 1943 by China, the US and the UK. The declaration developed ideas from the 1941 Atlantic Charter, which was issued by the Allies of World War Two to set goals for the post-war order.
