Quote:
The United Nation’s court ordered a halt to the issuing of whaling permits until the program has been revamped.
The ICJ, by 12 votes to four, said Japan had not acted in compliance with its obligations under the international whaling convention.
Australia had asked the court to ban Japan’s annual hunt on the basis it was not “for purposes of scientific research’’ as allowed under Article 8 of the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.
