For the interests of maintaining Japan " aristocracy " of the Kasumigaseki bureaucracy to " disguised commercial whaling " survival

For research whaling carried out in the northwest Pacific Ocean and autumn every year in spring , the 18th , the government has a policy of firm carried out in the 26th did on reducing the planning of this season . Subject to (ICJ) ruling the International Court of Justice in March ordered the research whaling stop in the Southern Ocean , found survey in northwest Pacific Ocean to the direction in which to reduce nearly half from a total of 380 horses that had planned to capture head count .

According to the officials, and reduced to a total of 100 animals from a total of 120 horses and initial Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture coast of June , the catch quotas of research in Kushiro, Hokkaido coast of September-October from the end of April . Offshore survey of May to July are discussed in the direction reduced to 110 head 260 head of original .

Based on the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling , Japan in the Southern Ocean since 1987 , and has continued to research whaling to examine the ecology of whales and northwest Pacific Ocean be added in 1994 . Investigation of the Antarctic Ocean , ICJ ruling of March instructions to stop as not being " scientific " . Study of northwest Pacific Ocean 's beyond the scope of judgment , but there is described as " taking into account the conclusions and reasoning contained in the judgment is expected " and , needs to be reviewed along the decision to investigate all plans within the government opinion that there was out .

The 18th , the government has a firm policy which is carried out by continued fiscal 2014 did on reducing the population of whales to capture , the research whaling by Japan in the northwest Pacific Ocean do . We have been studying it in response to the fact that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is determined to International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling violation research whaling in the Antarctic Ocean , Japan in March , but it is determined that it is appropriate to be scaled down . Sugayoshihide Chief Cabinet Secretary will announce in the afternoon on the 18th .
There was a cautious opinion within the government and as such as "consisting violation of international law " for the continuation of research whaling , but also because it is not closed the way to the resumption of commercial whaling that Japan is aiming , and scientific data on an ongoing basis I was inclined to suspend judgment of scientific whaling to collect is of not a good idea .

日本の『ノーメンクラトゥーラ』霞ヶ関官僚の権益維持のため『偽装商業捕鯨』存続へ

例年春から秋にかけて北西太平洋で行われる調査捕鯨について、政府は18日、今季の計画を縮小した上で26日までに実施する方針を固めた。南極海での調査捕鯨中止を命じた3月の国際司法裁判所(ICJ)判決を受け、北西太平洋での調査は捕獲頭数を予定していた計380頭から半数近く減らす方向とみられる。

 関係者によると、4月下旬から6月の宮城県石巻市沿岸と、9~10月の北海道釧路市沿岸での調査の捕獲枠を当初の計120頭から計100頭に削減。5~7月の沖合調査は当初の260頭を110頭に減らす方向で検討されている。

 日本は国際捕鯨取締条約に基づき、1987年から南極海で、94年には北西太平洋も加えてクジラの生態などを調べる調査捕鯨を続けてきた。南極海の調査について、3月のICJ判決は「科学的ではない」として中止を命令。北西太平洋の調査は判決の対象外だが、「判決に含まれる理由付けと結論を考慮することが期待される」との記述があり、政府内ですべての調査計画を判決に沿って見直す必要があるとの意見が出ていた。

政府は18日、日本が北西太平洋で行う調査捕鯨を、捕獲するクジラの頭数を減らした上で2014年度も継続して実施する方針を固めた。国際司法裁判所(ICJ)が3月に日本の南極海での調査捕鯨を国際捕鯨取締条約違反と判断したことを受けて検討してきたが、規模を縮小すれば問題ないと判断した。菅義偉官房長官が18日午後に発表する。
 調査捕鯨の継続に関して「国際法違反になる」などとして政府内に慎重な意見があったが、日本が目指している商業捕鯨の再開への道を閉ざさないためにも、継続的に科学的データを集める調査捕鯨の中断は得策ではないとの判断に傾いた。
