Whaling in Japan (the final ruling from ICJ)

On 31 March 2014, ICJ ruled that Japan's Whaling directly violates the "International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling" whihch was initially raised by Australian government in June, 2013.
And ICJ ordered the accused group to stop Whaling.  In the process, ICJ also identified that Japan's Whaling was carried out for commercial rather scientific research purpose. As a result, a large amount of Whales were killed for wrong reason.
Japanese government was very disappointed about the ruling, but they have decided to comply with the results.
