"Japan To Resume Whaling in Antarctic Despite Court Ruling"

"Japan has announced it will resume whaling in the Antarctic early next year after a break of more than a year.

The decision comes despite an International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling that Japan cease all whaling.

The Japanese government says it has taken into account the court ruling and its "scientific" whaling programme will be much smaller."

BBC News had the story November 28, 2015.
