"New Zealand has joined Australia in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in a case against Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean, Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said on Friday."
"McCully said New Zealand would support Australia's case in the ICJ after diplomatic initiatives have failed to halt Japanese whaling in the region.
'New Zealand has worked hard with Japan for over three years to try and find a permanent solution to whaling in the Southern Ocean,' he said in a statement.
'The government will continue to use all avenues possible to try to bring a halt to Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean.'"
