Evidence (1998-07-20): Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article. Khurīyā Murīyā, island group of Oman, in the Arabian Sea, situated 25 miles (40 km) off the country’s southeastern coast. The five islands, which have a total land area of 28 square miles (73 square km), are composed largely of granite and represent the peaks of a submarine ridge. From west to east they are Al-Ḥāsikīyah, Al-Sawdāʾ, Al-Ḥallānīyah, Qarzawīt, and Al-Qiblīyah. Al-Ḥallānīyah, the largest of the islands, is the only one inhabited. All of the islands’ inhabitants left in 1818 because of pirate raids; later the islands fell under the control of Arabs on the mainland and then of the sultan of Oman. In 1854 the sultan ceded them to the British, who included them in their colony of Aden in 1937. The islands were retroceded to Oman in 1967. Their few present-day inhabitants are mostly fishermen who use inflated skins for craft as in ancient times.

Evidence (2024-01-01): The Khuriya Muriya Islands (also Kuria Muria, Kooria Mooria, Curia Muria) (Arabic: جزر خوريا موريا; transliterated: Juzur Khurīyā Murīyā or Khūryān Mūryān) are a group of five islands in the Arabian Sea, 40km (30miles) off the southeastern coast of Oman. The islands form part of the province of Shalim and the Hallaniyat Islands in the governorate of Dhofar. In antiquity the islands were called the Zenobii or Zenobiou Islands (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Ζηνοβίου νησία; Latin: Zenobii Insulae) or Doliche (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Δολίχη). The islands were mentioned by several early writers including Ptolemy (vi. 7. § 47) who numbered them as seven small islands lying in Khuriya Muriya Bay (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Σαχαλίτης κόλπος; Latin: Sinus Sachalites), towards the entrance of the "Persian Gulf" (most likely the modern Gulf of Aden).[1] The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, a periplus dated to between AD 40 and 70, thus mentioned the Khuriya Muriya Islands, then called Isles of Zenobios: [...] The islanders lived in huts of unmortared stone with mat roofs, and at certain seasons they moved to caves. They lived on fish, shellfish and goat's milk, occasionally exchanging dried fish for dates and rice from passing ships. They fished entirely with hooks since they had neither boat nor nets.[3]

Evidence (2020-08-29): About 40km off the coast of Dhofar, due east of Hasik, lie the Khuriya Muriya: a miniature archipelago consisting of four small islands clustered around the main Hallaniyah Island (hence their alternative name, the Hallaniyah – or Hallaniyat – Islands), which is also the location of the islands’ only permanent settlement. The Khuriya Muriya have a rather curious history. In 1854, Sultan Said ceded the islands to the British after they had proposed a scheme for harvesting guano from them (the foreign secretary, Lord Clarendon, it is said, reciprocated the sultan’s largesse by sending him a snuffbox in return). Guano was extracted for only a few years, however, and the islands were subsequently attached to the Aden Settlement, in what is now Yemen. They remained a British possession until 1967, when they were returned to Oman – despite Yemeni claims that, as part of the former Aden adminstration, they properly belonged to them.

Evidence (2024-07-26): The Khuriya Muriya Islands are a cluster of five islands in the Arabian Sea, 40 kilometers off Oman’s southeast coast. Several early writers referenced the islands, including Ptolemy, who listed them as seven small islands in Khuriya Muriya Bay, near the entrance to the "Persian Gulf" (most likely the modern Gulf of Aden). BirdLife International has classified the island group as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports seabird breeding colonies of red-billed tropicbirds, tropical shearwaters, masked boobies, Socotra cormorants, sooty gulls, and bridled and greater crested terns. Other noteworthy birds include Jouanin’s petrels that travel through and resident mourning wheatears.

Evidence (2023-01-03): The minutes stipulated that those reserves, which include "Hadramout, Mahra, Shabwa, Socotra and Khuriya Muriya Islands," would remain within a unified entity, far from the south. Posing the British documents regarding the status of Hadramout in this time is a Saudi attempt to convince the UAE-UAE-backed Southern Transitional council that these provinces will not be part of its separatist state in Aden, and an effort to enrich civil conflicts between the sons of Hadramout and the STC. [...] It also confirms Saudi Arabia’s refusal to abandon those provinces trying to restructure under the name "Hadramout Region."

Evidence (2020-12-02): However, the head of the National Delegation declared that his delegation did not come to discuss the extension of the region's borders, nor is the British government's decision based on justified cause and that the National Front delegation records its official insistence that the islands of Khuriya Muriya are an inseparable part of the occupied South Yemeni region, and that the national sovereignty of the region due to the British decision will be considered incomplete. Further, the head of the national delegation considered that Britain does not seek to achieve peace and stability in the region, and called the UK delegation for another opportunity to reconsider its illegal decision that contradicts United Nations resolutions, and with the methods of managing these islands since the British occupation of Aden until the conclusion of these negotiations. The national delegation called on a delegation from the United Kingdom not to raise the problem in Parliament until unbiased solution to this issue is reached.

Claim: Khuriya Muriya Islands is a territory of Yemen (Khuriya Muriya Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2017-03-17): Under British rule, Aden was governed as the ‘Aden Settlement’ after occupation. It was placed under the Bombay Presidency and all foreign affairs were conducted through the Indian Political Service (IPS), being treated in practice as if it was a province of British India. The Aden Settlement consisted of the port city of Aden and its immediate surroundings. The original 75-square mile territory of the settlement was enlarged in 1857 by the annexation of the 13 -km² outlying island of Perim, in 1868 by the 73-km² Khuriya Muriya Islands, and in 1915 by the island of Kamaran, a quarantine station for Muslims on the pilgrimage to Mecca that was under Ottoman rule. The British captured Kamaran in 1915 and, since they could not come to an agreement with the Imam of Yemen who claimed the island, they became the de facto rulers continuing to occupy the 42 square miles (108 km²) island without a clear title to it. [...] Beginning with a formal treaty of protection with the Mahra Sultanate of Qishn and Socotra in 1886, Britain embarked on a slow formalization of protection arrangements that included over 30 major treaties of protection with the last signed only in 1954. In exchange for British protection, the rulers of the constituent territories of the Protectorate agreed not to enter into treaties with or cede territory to any other foreign power. The boundaries between the polities and even their number fluctuated over time. Some such as the Mahra Sultanate barely had any functioning administration. Not included in the Protectorate were Aden Colony and the insular areas of Perim, Kamaran, and Khuriya Muriya that accrued to it.

Claim: Korean Peninsula is a territory of North Korea (Korean Peninsula, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2021-02-13): The Korean Peninsula is shared by two sovereign states; South Korea and North Korea. The two countries were created in 1945, following the surrender of Imperial Japan. The surrender led to the partitioning of the peninsula into two, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the US taking up the south. The two superpowers differed on ideologies. The Soviet Union supported communism in the north, while the south was pro-western. The Ideological differences led to the division of Korea into South Korea and North Korea counties in 1948. North Korea covers the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. It is the larger of the two countries on the peninsula, covering approximately 120,540 square kilometers. As a northern state, it is nearest to mainland Asia. It is bordered by Russia and China to the north, along the Amnok River. [...] The Korean Peninsula is located in East Asia between Japan and China. It is characterized by varied topography and geographical features, including plains, mountain systems, and rivers. The southern and western portions comprise well-developed plains, while the northern and eastern portions are mainly mountainous.
Claim: Korean Peninsula is a territory of North Korea (Korean Peninsula, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-21): Korea, history of the Korean Peninsula from prehistoric times to the 1953 armistice ending the Korean War (1950–53). For later developments, see North Korea: History; and South Korea: History. [...] Archaeological, linguistic, and legendary sources support the view that the Korean Peninsula was settled by Tungusic-speaking peoples who migrated in waves from Manchuria and Siberia. They settled along the coasts and moved up the river valleys. These peoples formed the dominant ethnic foundation of the Korean people and developed the Korean language. There was a close relationship between Korean culture and that of neighboring peoples during the Neolithic Period (New Stone Age) and the Bronze Age. For example, Korean comb pottery, widely used in the Neolithic Period, is commonly found in northeastern Asia; Korean bronze daggers, belt hooks, and knobbed mirrors also display the traits of bronze tools unearthed elsewhere in the region.

The cities are: Namp’o, P’yongyang and Rason. These administrative divisions are further subdivided into a number of smaller subdivisions. [...] North Korea is a country in Eastern Asia. It is located both in the Northern and Eastern hemispheres of the Earth. North Korea occupies the northern half of the Korean Peninsula bordering the Korea Bay and the Sea of Japan, between China and South Korea. North Korea is bordered by China in the north, by Russia in the northeast, by South Korea in the South. The Military Demarcation Line forms the land border between North and South Korea.

Claim: Korean Peninsula is a territory of North Korea (Korean Peninsula, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-03): Korea (known as 조선/Chosŏn in North Korea and 한국/Hanguk in South Korea) is a peninsula in East Asia occupied by two countries sharing a common culture, commonly called North Korea and South Korea. Korea is connected by land to Northeast China and the Russian Far East to the north, across the Yellow Sea from Beijing to its west, separated from Japan by the Sea of Japan (known as the 'East Sea' (동해, 東海) in Korea) to its east, and separated from Taiwan by the East China Sea to its south. [...] Wang Kŏn founded Koryŏ in 918 at Songdo (modern Kaesŏng, North Korea) and in 936 established a unified kingdom on the Korean peninsula. Wang Kŏn went to great lengths to absorb the people of the overthrown states, even accepting the survivors of Parhae, which had been destroyed by the Khitan (Liao). Proclaiming itself the successor of Koguryŏ, Koryŏ launched active campaigns to recover lost territory and clashed frequently with the Khitan in the north. Koryŏ eventually expanded its territory to the Yalu (Korean: Amnok) River.
Claim: Korean Peninsula is a territory of North Korea (Korean Peninsula, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-07): The Korean Peninsula was inhabited as early as the Lower Paleolithic period. Its first kingdom was noted in Chinese records in the early 7th century BCE. After the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea into Silla and Balhae in the late 7th century, Korea was ruled by the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) and the Joseon dynasty (1392–1897). The succeeding Korean Empire (1897–1910) was annexed in 1910 into the Empire of Japan. Japanese rule ended following Japan's surrender in World War II, after which Korea was divided into two zones: a northern zone, which was occupied by the Soviet Union, and a southern zone, which was occupied by the United States. After negotiations on reunification failed, the southern zone became the Republic of Korea in August 1948, while the northern zone became the communist Democratic People's Republic of Korea the following month. [...] Both North and South Korea claim complete sovereignty over the entire peninsula and outlying islands.[153] Despite mutual animosity, reconciliation efforts have continued since the initial separation between North and South Korea. Political figures such as Kim Koo worked to reconcile the two governments even after the Korean War.[154] With longstanding animosity following the Korean War from 1950 to 1953, North Korea and South Korea signed an agreement to pursue peace.[155] On October 4, 2007, Roh Moo-Hyun and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il signed an eight-point agreement on issues of permanent peace, high-level talks, economic cooperation, renewal of train services, highway and air travel, and a joint Olympic cheering squad.[155]
