The World Today - Japan's new 'scientific' whaling program still breaches international law: legal experts 01/12/2015:
"Legal experts from Australia and New Zealand say Japan is breaking international law by resuming so-called 'scientific' whaling.
Last month the United Nation's International Court of Justice ruled Japan's scientific whaling program was a sham that should be stopped.
Despite that, the Japanese whaling fleet is leaving port today and heading south to the Southern Ocean, as Lucy Carter reports.
LUCY CARTER: At a Japanese port, four ships and more than 100 crew members are preparing to set sail.
Japan's fisheries agency has committed to what it calls 'lethal research' from December until March next year.
The whaling fleet used to kill 1,000 whales a year this time its target will be 333.
The fleet is heading south to the Antarctic despite last year's International Court of Justice ruling that Japan's whaling program did not qualify as scientific and should stop."
