Japan, the most technologically advanced country in the world, was ordered to stop its yearly antarctic research trip after Australia (not even in the top 10) sued Japan in international court:
The split decision from the court means that Japan can no longer conduct its research. Australia teamed up with animal rights activists who have been trying for years to put an end to Japan's research program. What will this "court" tell another country it cannot do next? No more chimp research in the US? No research on rats? Looks like today is one step forward for the animal rights people and two steps backward for science.
What science?...That so called research is nothing but an excuse to kill whales for their market place...They also slaughter thousands of dolphins every years...
1. Japan agreed to abide by the decision before it was handed out.
2. Japan signed a treaty saying they would only do scientific studies
3. Thousands of whales killed a year-and no real science performed.
Look at point #1 and #2. you know...where Japan had previously signed a treaty?

That UN court has no jurisdiction inside the United States, nor over any of its vessels.
They can issue pronouncements at us all they want. We'll issue a few back, if we want to waste the bandwidth, and then we'll continue with our business. If they don't like it, so what?

Yes, Japan will abide by the ruling. But it is not for the UN to say how a country conducts its research. Too few animals? Too many animals? Do we need an UN auditor in every study telling every country how to conduct research? Japan did release research studies on the whales.

So if I release a study about some endangered species....and release information that their primary food source is down a couple %.....by killing off thousands of them......thats needed research? Oh and im making massive profits selling the carcasses.
And if it werent for those profits...no research would be conducted....
Am I in business, or research?
Please. This is a foolish thing to try and defend. I mean...really foolish. You just make yourself look bad.
