9 5 UST 2368, TIAS No. 3097, 238 UNTS 199. Article IV provides: “The Republic of Korea grants, and the United States of America accepts, the right to dispose United States land, air and sea forces in and about the territory of the Republic of Korea as determined by mutual agreement.” It should be noted, however, that none of the published agreements deals with U.S. transit rights through the Korea Strait. In any event, as applied to the Korea Strait, this article deals only with the disposition of U.S. naval forces, and not with the passage of commercial vessels.
