They aren’t actually breaking a treat or a law. They’re breaking an agreement which has no force of law behind it on any level. They’re in an international group, which has no treaties behind it and is basically just a club, and they’re breaking one of the rules of the group.

lol! A salient fact. But good luck getting those who have had their minds manipulated by this television show to accept it.
A treaty has no binding power on any group not a signatory to the treaty. Japan, Norway and a few others never signed, ergo they are not bound.
Norway tends to hunt more whales then Japan does and yet you never hear anyone bitch about them. Make of that what you will.
The hippies also go after tuna boats and have indicated that they are against all fishing.
I wonder how sanguine the hippy huggers will be when their fishing boats are targeted?
BUMP!
