Japanese whaling faced significant international pressure and criticism over the years, particularly from environmental groups and other nations. The pivotal moment came in 2014 when the International Court of Justice ruled that Japan's whaling program in the Antarctic was not for scientific purposes, leading to Japan's temporary suspension of its whaling activities. Although Japan resumed whaling in 2019, it has shifted to a more limited scale, focusing on coastal whaling and operating outside the International Whaling Commission's regulations. Ongoing global advocacy and legal challenges continue to impact Japan's whaling practices.

If whaling is stopped or prohibited what effects will this have on the Japanese economy?

Almost none. The main aim of whaling in Japan is to limit the number of whales (especially minke whales) that consume large quantities of fish and so reduce fishing yields. Whale meat is sold in high class Tokyo restaurants and very few modern-day Japanese have eaten it.
