The UN's International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled that Japan's Antarctic whaling programme is not for scientific purposes.
Japan catches about 1,000 whales each year for what it calls scientific research.
Australia filed a case with the ICJ in May 2010, arguing that Japan's programme - under which it kills whales - is commercial whaling in disguise.
The UN's top court is currently reading out its ruling.
The United Nations has ruled that Japan's phony scientific whaling program has finally been shown for what it is. Perhaps the Japanese government will suspend the program.
