Abstract
On 31 May 2010 the Australian Ambassador to The Netherlands applied to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to institute proceedings against Japan in relation to Japan's JARPA II scientific whaling program. Australia alleged, inter alia, that the granting of special permits under JARPA II was in contravention of the prohibition of commercial whaling under the International Convention on the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW).
