Nation to resume whaling despite commission vote against scientific program

摘要

The International Whaling Commission today voted against the resumption of Japan's scientific whaling program in Antarctica, but the Asian country ignored the decision with an announcement to continue the hunt in 2015. The commission adopted the resolution on a 35-20 vote and said that Japan should follow the ruling made by the International Court of Justice that deemed the program illegal because it wasn't conducted for scientific research.
