Dear friends,
Regarding the historic ruling of March 31 of the International Court of Justice – ICJ about the demand by Australia against Japan for the so called “scientific” whaling in the Antarctic, a group of Latin-American organizations initiate the Campaign:
“100,000 Voices in Defense of Whales, Science and Peace in Antarctica”
The campaign seeks to inform the public about the overwhelming implications that the ruling the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will have for marine biodiversity and how conflicts about marine resources will be resolved from now on.
The signatures will be gathered until March 27th in the Zero Whaling webpage and will be delivered in the headquarters of the ICJ at the Peace Palace in The Hague next March 28th. See the facebook event if you want to join.
The International Court of Justice is the only court with general jurisdiction and universal character; its decisions are binding and without appeal.
The court procedures will be available Online in the United Nations live streaming channel. The decision of March 31st can be seen LIVE from 10:00 am (Amsterdam UTC/GMT +1 hour).
