Environment minister says Tokyo cannot 'unilaterally decide' to ignore scientific advice and international court of justice ruling to hunt and kill 333 minke whales

Japan is set to ignore an international court of justice ruling that last year prompted Tokyo to cancel the bulk of its whaling for the 2014-15 season.
