The Japanese are totally indifferent to international concerns against whaling and it doesn’t need to carry out research year after year killing the highly endangered mammals. If arrest warrants are issued, the international community should treat it with utter contempt that Japan deserves over its whaling policies.

It isn’t very easy to do that. Signatories of international anti-hijacking, anti-piracy and anti-terrorism treaties are bound to take action against people who are wanted by member countries. I would like to agree with Zach that it might spell talks of a cease-fire.

I don’t see any of this actually being settled through litigation. Unfortunately, this is really more of a message being sent, than anything else.

You’re right though–the international community should really rebuke the whaling association.

Due to the lack of vision of the Allied Forces during the Second World War, they couldn’t make the Japanese sign an anti-whaling clause in the ceasefire agreement. Had that being done then, we would not have been facing such atrocious behavior by the Japanese against overwhelming international will.

I don’t think it was a lack of vision–it seems more like a lack of relevancy. I think the US was more concerned with tailoring the clauses that would effect their own future relations with Japan–not the rest of the world.
