The International Whaling Commission was created in the 1950s with the aim of preventing uncontrolled whaling. Japan adhered to the decision to ban whaling for the time being, which was adopted in 1982. Next year, however, the Japanese Government has decided to abandon the Commission and resume whaling activity.
The Japanese Government spokesman, Yoshihide Suga, said that the International Whaling Commission did not "meditate sufficiently" on the withdrawal of the ban on whaling. That’s why they’ll start fishing, in Suga’s words, “always watching the sea’s resources.”

He said that they will be "pirates of the sea" who are not going to comply with a joint international decision.
