Syngman Rhee
The Syngman Rhee Line (, Hanja: 李承晩 線) refers to a marine boundary line established by South Korean President Syngman Rhee in his "Peace Line" (, Hanja: 平和線) declaration of January 18, 1952, establishing a wide area of maritime sovereignty, beyond internationally accepted territorial waters, around the entire Korean Peninsula. This included placing the Liancourt Rocks (Dokdo/Takeshima) in South Korean territory.
