under: http://www.presseportal.ch/de/pm/100019151/?langid=2 -The United Animal Nations (UAN) is not going to rest with the Geneva International Court of Justice for Animal Rights' sentence of February 22, 2010. Today, its secretary general, Franz Weber, delivered the verdict to the guilty fisheries ministers of Japan, Norway, Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands with the demand to cease an activity that is classified by the civilized world as criminal and recognised as such by the court on all counts.
At the same time he sent the verdict to the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd as an encouragement to bring Japan, as planned, before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, if its whaling fleets do not disappear from the international waters of Antarctica.
But that's not enough: the verdict concerning the suit by the organisations OceanCare, Switzerland, Pro Wildlife, Germany, Dyrenes Venner, Denmark, Elsa Nature Conservancy Japan and another fifty international complainant organisations went to the President of the European Parliament, to the Presidency of the EU Council of Ministers, the President of the European Commission, the Council of Europe, the United Nations, UNESCO, World Health Organisation, and to the International Whaling Commission with the demand to brand whaling and dolphin massacres as piracy and theft from the international community and to inform the world in no uncertain terms about the dangers of eating whale and dolphin meat impregnated with highly toxic substances.
Whaling and dolphin hunting nations will, henceforth, no longer be allowed to rest until their unnecessary as well as environmentally destructive activities are brought to an end. For the good of the planet
