International Court of Justice Bans Japanese Whaling

International Court of Justice says that Japan's program to take minke, fin, and humpback whales in the Southern Ocean is not based on sound science. Australia brought the case in May 2010, that the programme was not for scientific research as claimed by Tokyo. Japan had previously claimed that it would never abandon such a deep-seated cultural practice but said that they would abide by the ruling.
