SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 30, 2014) - Conservationists around the globe celebrated when the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled last week that Japan's whaling trips to the Antarctica would be banned. Disguised as a "biological research program," Japan has captured more than 10,000 whales in the Southern Ocean over the last 25 years. In the judgment summary Peter Tomka of Slovakia, the presiding judge of the United Nation's highest court, said that thousands of minke whales and other whales had been killed through Japan's whaling program, but that the "scientific output to date appears limited." Japan was less than enthused by the outcome of the whaling case, but vowed to abide by the decision.
