Research on Taiwan's Position as a US Insular Area (Unincorporated Territory) 
Citation: After taking into account all [available evidence], a full statement of Taiwan's current position under international law can be derived. Based on the SFPT [San Francisco Peace Treaty, effective from April 28, 1952 - ed.], the US Constitution, and the Insular Cases of the US Supreme Court, Taiwan can be classified as 'unincorporated territory under USMG [United States Military Government].' This means that Taiwan is an insular area of the United States.
