PRESS COMMUNIQUE

Preseident Roosevelt, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and Prime Minister Churchill, together with their respective military and diplomatic advisers, have completed a conference in North Africa. The following general statement was issued:

The several military missions have agreed upon future military operations against Japan. The three great Allies expressed their resolve to bring unrelenting pressure against their brutal enemies
by sea, land and air. This pressure is already rising.

The three great Allies are fighting this war to restrain and punish the aggression of Japan. They covet no gain for themselves and have no thought of territorial expansion. It is their purpose that Japan shall be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since the beginning of the first World War in 1914, and that all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China. Japan will also be expelled from all other territories which she has taken by violence and greed. The aforesaid three great powers, mindful of the enslavement of the people of Korea, are determined that in due course Korea shall become free and independent.

With these object in view, the three Allies in harmony with those of the United Nations at war with Japan, will continue to persevere in the serious and prolonged operations necessary to
procure the unconditional surrender of Japan.

1943.12.01 俗謂之《開羅宣言》-中譯

發表日：1943.12.01
發表地點：北非.開羅
參與國；美、英、中

此即俗謂之《開羅宣言》，只是一份羅斯福、邱吉爾、蔣介石均無簽字的「新聞公報」，

大溪檔案的開羅宣言是一張約19.5 * 21公分大的白紙，標題上打著意為「新聞公報」的英文字樣，公報的第一段表明它是一個「概括性的聲明」，並不是什麼宣言。

無人簽字的開羅宣言就在美國聯邦資料中心經美國國務院編入「美國一七七六年至一九四九年締結之條約及其他國務協定彙編」(Treaties and Other International Agreements of the United States of America, 1776-1949)

該聲明於一九四三年十二月一日發表；亦有其它資料顯示此聲明於公元一九四三年十二月三日分在重慶華府倫敦同時公佈，全文如下：

PRESS COMMUNIQUE

羅斯福總統、蔣介石委員長、邱吉爾首相，偕同各該國軍事與外交顧問，已在北非舉行會議完畢，發表概括聲明如下：

三國軍事方面人員，關於今後對日作戰計畫，已獲得一致意見。三大盟國決以不鬆 弛之壓力，從海、陸、空各方面加諸殘暴之敵人，此項壓力已在增長之中。

我三大盟國此次進行戰爭之目的，在制止及懲罰日本之侵略，三國絕不為自己固利 ，亦無拓展疆土之意思。三國之宗旨，在剝奪日本自一九一四年第一次世界大戰開 始後，在太平洋上所奪得或占領之一切島嶼，及使日本在中國所竊取之領土，如滿洲，臺灣及澎湖群島等歸還中華民國。其他，日本以武力或貪慾所攫取之土地，亦務將日本驅逐出境。我三大盟國稔知朝鮮人民所受之奴隸待遇，決定在相當時期使朝鮮自由獨立。

基於以上各項目的，三大盟國將繼續堅決進行其重大而長期之戰鬥，以獲得日本無條件之投降。
