Read the following, to read past Japanese public response
www .icrwhale.org/eng/57BriefingNote.doc
The IWC sanctuary in the Antarctic applies to commercial whaling only. It does not apply to research whaling conducted under Article VIII of the ICRW5. In regards to Australia's designated sanctuary, many countries including the U.S. and Japan do not recognize Australia's Antarctic claim. The Antarctic Treaty, to which Australia is a member, freezes all Antarctic claims. From the perspective of the international community therefore, Australia's claim and its sanctuary in Antarctic waters, which it has declared under its domestic legislation, has no legal standing in international law and therefore no effect.

Have you ever heard IWC is claiming to Japan about this time whaling as illegal?
Have you ever seen Australia government's claim to Japan about violating international law?
(Australian is accusing Japan only by Australian local law, as you know. If Australia finds something the whalers violating international law, Clear protestation would be relayed to Japan through the public diplomatic channels, I can vouch.)
I've already given up to make a rational argument with you.
But I recommend you to read law texts itself before
accepting all the sayings of Greenpeace as holy scripture and
saying like -"We're-not-bound-by-any-laws" attitude of the whalers.-.
Now, Greenpeace ships also could be issued for violating Maritime law.
Japan is still patient, not to sue such sanctimonious hypocrites.
By the way,
Greenpeace says so, Greenpeace says like that.....
Do you really believe Greenpeace are fighter for justice, being fair, never lying?

I also encourage you to Go to library and read something about Greenpeace Money, In and Out. It's a great business and always need sponsors and scapegoat.
