"Japan has no need to refer Senkaku dispute to ICJ: official"

It's Japan who doesn't want to refer the issue to ICJ, not the other way around. Why doesn't Japan want to resolve the issue peacefully?

Japan's current position is there is "no dispute" over the islands.

You can easily find the information regarding Japan's refusal to bring the senkaua issue to ICJ online. I posted the link twice already but all got deleted by the moderator, not sure why.

Taiwan has proposed submitting the dispute to international jurisdiction, but Japan is only willing to submit the Dokdo/Takeshima dispute to the International Court of Justice, while maintaining that "no dispute exists" over the Diaoyutai/Senkaku Islands. This double-standard is contrary to the spirit of the universality of the Rule of Law.

Taiwan wanted to bring the island dispute issue to ICJ but Japan always refuses, I wonder why.

Please calm down and look at this issue objectively.

The poll was conducted by the Tokyo Government, not from a private entity like a newspaper or TV station. That's the main reason why Korea was protesting it.

Japan would also protest if the Chinese government conduct the same poll with regard to Okinawa.

Here is a good BBC piece on why Japan has bad relations with its neighboring countries and how Japanese were brainwashed by their educational system -
