    DJbooth - the Costa rician gov has no Interpol notice out for a Paul Watson, nor does Germany, I suggest you check their page for some facts before posting... :))

    The INTERPOL website doesn't agree with you or with the eco-terrorist SS propaganda website.

    The eco-terrorist SS advocate for violence as a means to their end. Everyone who donates to the eco-terrorist SS is supporting violence.

    Yogi Zuna - I will never buy a Japanese product again until the whaling stops. And I have purchased many MANY thousands of dollars worth of Japanese products since 1969. So I am just one person, but I helped you grow Japan, but not anymore. Say sayonara to my money!

    Sayonara.

    If you know where Watson is, you can contact INTERPOL or notify the Costa Rican government. They'll handle it from there.

    DJbooth - Seems reasonable to me & the rest of the world

    The majority of "the rest of the world" doesn't care about whales, or whaling. There is only a very small vocal minority that objects to whaling and it's a much smaller minority that supports the repeated acts of violence repeatedly committed by the eco-terrorist SS. It seems that only the pro-violence Netherlands will register the eco-terrorist SS garbage scows.

    Anonsequitur - .....It seems the responsible reaction to perceived illegal refueling obstruction of SSCS, is to withdraw from foreseeable violent confrontation that risks lives, property, and the environment and to report their action to the appropriate authorities.

    HAHAHA. Watson and the eco-terrorist SS have NO LEGAL AUTHORITY to attack anyone during refueling operations or at any other time.

    What seems reasonable to me would be for the Netherlands to remove the eco-terrorist SS garbage scows from their national ships registry. Then they wouldn't be continually embarrassed by, or associated with, Watson's repeated acts of violence. The Netherlands promotes violence by allowing the eco-terrorist SS scows to enter and leave ports under Dutch protection. The Dutch could stop the eco-terrorist SS attacks on the whaling vessels.

    Anonsequitur - Why didn't the NM withdraw, in-order to de-escalate the conflagration, and risk of collision? If I'm at a petrol station, waiting for a vehicle ahead of me to clear the way for me to fill, and they do not, I have some simple options to consider. Thoughts about my vehicle insurance, motor vehicle regulations, and my own sense of safety, would preclude any violent act that involved ramming the "belligerent" vehicle blocking me, and colliding with the filling station apparatus risking fire or explosion. The much safer and prudent action would be to report "belligerent" motorist to the authorities, then drive to another filling station.

    In this video, Paul Watson, also reports that the SL, a non-ice class tankship, violates IMO regs for sailing in ice at 12kts without a searchlight.

    This incident did not occur at some landlubbers petrol station and there were no other "petrol stations" within hundreds of nautical miles. The only reason that the eco-terrorist SS were there was to impede the refueling. Under Maritime Rules, the eco-terrorist SS should have been no where near the refueling vessels. Watson chose to violate Maritime Rules and now whines that maritime rules were violated. Watson has proven that he doesn't believe that Maritime Rules apply to him and his garbage scows.

    Whiney Watson whines that a vessel that he is illegally stalking and harrassing is traveling without a searchlight. I doubt that the Dutch court will even consider this a serious charge. Considering the long history of violence committed by the eco-terrorist SS, the Sun Laurel could post extra lookouts to both search for ice AND to avoid the violence of the eco-terrorist SS.

    Anonsequitur - My understanding is that the SSCS fleet communicated to the whaling fleet that they wouldn't impede bunkering north of 60 degrees, and that they honoured that. Apparently, the NM bunkered north of 60 degrees without interference from SS, then returned to the Southern Ocean to continue whaling.

    If the eco-terrorist SS said they wouldn't impede bunkering north of 60 degrees, then it will be understood by the Dutch court that the eco-terrorists were deliberately impeding bunkering south of 60 degrees. The court also understands that the eco-terrorist HAVE NO LEGAL AUTHORITY to impede any vessel - anywhere.

    The pirate Watson is asking the Dutch court to charge the whalers for DEFENDING themselves against the illegal and dangerous actions of the eco-terrorist SS. The eco-terrorist SS has NO LEGAL AUTHORITY to violate Maritime Rules. Watson put his vessel and crew in danger in order to put the whaling vessels and crew in danger. Watson chose to violate Maritime rules and now expects the Dutch court to ignore Watson's maritime violations and charge the whalers for attempting to complete a normal and legal refueling.

    If Watson continues to act this stupidly, the Dutch court may file charges of their own against Watson and the eco-terrorist SS for wasting the courts time with his filing of frivolous charges.

    He (Watson) is wanted after skipping bail in Germany where he was arrested on Costa Rican charges relating to a high-seas confrontation over shark finning in 2002.

    Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus indicated that Watson would not be arrested if he came to Australia. "The Australian government does not provide assurances whether a person will be subject to extradition proceedings either now or during the future," he said without saying whether Canberra has received an extradition request. "But as I have made clear, a person cannot be extradited from Australia in the absence of an Australian warrant and the approval of the Australian government. That said, I can confirm that Mr Watson is not subject to any arrest warrant in any Australian government juristication."

    Watson is wanted in Costa Rica. If arrested, Watson would be extradited to Costa Rica.

    The AG is saying there is no current warrant for Watson's arrest in Australia. That could change at any time.

    Germany isn't going to waste their time and effort extraditing a bail jumper who would then be extradited to Costa Rica. Watson has already forfeited his bail money to the German court. Cha-ching, easy money for Germany.

    Environmental group Sea Shepherd has filed a suit against the crew of Japanese whaling ship Nisshin Maru alleging piracy and attempted manslaughter after they clashed in the Antarctic Ocean in February, their lawyers said on Thursday.

    A similar suit was filed by Sea Shepherd in the Netherlands in 2010 but prosecutors did not follow it up with a case.

    It appears that the eco-terrorist SS "filed" a suit with the Dutch criminal court but the Dutch court hasn't decided if the eco-terrorist SS have legal standing to bring such a case. IF ACCEPTED, then the eco-terrorist SS lawyers will have to PROVE that what they "claim" happened actually happened. The eco-terrorist SS lawyers will also have to "actually" prove, not just "claim", that the whalers violated any Dutch laws.

    Acts of self-defense are NOT illegal.

    Militant anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd said Saturday the Japanese fleet had left the Antarctic whale sanctuary and appeared to be heading home with its smallest catch yet, hailing an “enormously successful” harassment campaign.

    It appears that the eco-terrorist SS have created enough evidence that will allow the ICR and Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha, LTD to win their case against the eco-terrorist SS and the fugitive Watson, in the U.S. court.

    Cetacean sued under the Alien Tort Statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1350, for injunctive and declaratory relief. The statute provides a cause of action for “a tort . . . committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.” 28U.S.C. § 1350. Cetacean argues that Sea Shepherd’s acts amount to piracy and violate international agreements regulating conduct on the high seas.

    The eco-terrorists will now become officially identified to all naions as pirates and future government actions will be taken against the pirate eco-terrorist SS organization. It's a win-win situation.

    cleo - Is SS a member of the IWC?

    Not any more. The eco-terrorist SS has been banned from IWC meetings since 1987 because of the eco-terrorist SS repeated acts of violence.

    Tony Ew - .....You may not like Vigilante term but I guess you don't live in the real world when vigilante is NECESSARY when law enforcement fails! People are COMPELLED to do certain actions for public interest or to save a person like Good Samaritan acts in a timely manner. I think in France you will be put in jail for not being a Good Samaritan when you don't help somebody in trouble, so this is something you can relate to the Vigilante acts as NECESSARY to protect the whales from endangerment by the Japanese whalers.

    I love it when you use the term "vigilante". It proves that you know the eco-terrorist SS are resorting to violence to force others to do their bidding. Vigilantes are still violating the law. Vigilantes are subject to arrest and imprisonment. If vigilantes are willing to do the crime, then they should be willing to do the time. Watson will love Costa Rica.

    The judge used an international standard to describe the eco-terrorist SS as pirates. It's the use of violence that makes the eco-terrorist SS pirates. It's that use of violence that you support. Claiming that good samaritans are the same as vigilantes is a bit of a stretch though.

    Tony Ew - .....Don't label the violent acts of SS illegal. When a police taser somebody, is that violent act illegal? As I said SS actions become neccessary, taking VIGILANTE ACTIONS because there is no law enforcement done to protect the whales. Again people do that all the time in communities across the world when official law enforcements cannot or will not do the job.

    I can certainly understand your displeasure with the rulings of the courts but that doesn't change the law. You're attempting to justify the repeated violent actions of the eco-terrorists. Vigilante actions are illegal. If you and Watson want to ignore established law for your own private purposes, that's your choice. However, governments can and will arrest, detain, and subject vigilanties to a trial. If the vigilanties are found guilty of violating a nation's laws, the court has the legal authority to fine, penalize, and incarcerate convicted criminals. Watson will love the view from his future Costa Rica cell.

    Nations also have laws for dealing with civil issues. The U.S. based, eco-terrorist SS are being sued to prevent the repeated acts of violence of their representatives on board eco-terrorist SS vessels. The U.S. court has found that ICR has standing to bring suit against the eco-terrorist SS because the U.S. eco-terrorist SS are based in the U.S.A.. Watson chose to ignore the court's order to stay 500 yards away from their intended victims. The eco-terrorist SS chose to ignore the court's order to stop their violence.

    The U.S. based eco-terrorist SS organization will be held accountable for the violence of the pirate actions of the eco-terrorist crews and vessels. Your donations will be handed over to the whalers to pay for any physical and fianancial damages caused by Watson and the eco-terrorist SS pirate actions. I doubt that any court will take your interpretation of how their nations laws should be written and enforced as being anything more than an amusing anecdote but that should not stop you from filing an amicus curiae (friend of the court brief) with the U.S. appellate court.

    After ICR wins it's case against the U.S. based eco-terrorist SS organization, I expect Canada to file a similar case against the U.S. based eco-terrorist SS organization to recover the monies owed it for Watson's refusal to pay his fines and the dockage charges for abandoning the SS scow Farley Mowat. Many of the other countries, who's fishermen and vessels have been violently attacked by the eco-terrorist SS, may also file civil suits.

    Tony Ew - Since the Supreme Court refuses to hear this case, I offer my 'supreme' verdict:

    The Court of Appeals decision should be strucked down completely! SS is not a modern day pirate. If the court is unhappy with SS behavior, the best action is to instruct Washington State to de register the SS entity for conducting activities not in accordance to the spirit of the charity designation of SSCS.

    "de register"? What the heck does that mean? Are you confusing the taking of an organization to civil court with a nation registering deep sea vessels? A nation can chose to register or "de register" a vessel based on the past history and current activities of that vessel's crew or the actions of the company that owns the vessel. A registered or "flagged" vessel represents that nation. An attack on a flagged vessel is an attack on the nation which registered that vessel. The eco-terrorist SS scows have been "de registered" by several nations because of their repeated acts of violence. Several nations have refused to register eco-terrorist SS scows because of their history of repeated acts of violence.

    Since the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear the eco-terrorist SS appeal of the appellate court's decision, it's a fact that the SCOTUS agrees with the lower court. The eco-terrorist SS are committing acts of piracy as piracy is defined by international law.

    The violent actions committed by Watson and the eco-terrorist SS all but insure that Cetacean will win it's case against the U.S.-based eco-terrorist SS. The next legal question will be whether the U.S. court will "de register" the charity designation of the eco-terrorist SS. Will future pro-violence, eco-terrorist SS supporters still be able to deduct their pro-violence donations from their taxes?

    FPSRussia - Okay I just saw the video. SS was the right and the Japanese ship was in the wrong. It is clear n the video that the Japanese rammed the SS vessel

    You should also have noticed that the article you linked says, ".....noting that a U.S. court has banned Sea Shepherd from threatening whaling ships' operations or sailing within 500 yards of them."

    I see eco-terrorist SS supplied proof that the eco-terrorist SS are violating the court's order. The eco-terrorist SS violated the court order in order to position their scows where they would cause the most amount of damage and disruption.

    Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to provoke a collision with a bunker ship full of fuel but Watson never did show any sign of common sense. All he knows is violence. Violence is Watson's answer to everything.

    YuriOtani - ..... the society may be incorporated in the US for taxes but none of the ships are registered in the US

    In case you haven't been following the case or only listen to the lies of the eco-terrorist SS, the Institute of Cetacean Research (ICR) and Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha Ltd, sued Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) in U.S. federal district court in Seattle, U.S.A.. The suit was filed in Seattle because Sea Shepherd is based in the state of Washington, U.S.A..

    The suit requested, among other things, an injunction to stop Sea Shepherd's violent operations against Japanese whalers. The court also ordered the U.S. based organization to keep it's pirate ships 500 yards away from the whalers and their support vessels. An order that the eco-terrorist SS have videoed themselves violating.

    The ICR isn't suing the ships. They are suing the U.S. based organization. It's the U.S. based organization that will pay any penalties and fines for the violence committed by the eco-terrorist SS scows. Please donate more money to the U.S. based, eco-terrorist SS so they will be able to pay the penalties that will fund ICR research whaling for the future.

    cramp - the courts are stupid...pirates are robbers who work in the high seas, last time i heard sea shepherd robs no one of anything...

    whales don't belong to japan so they're not being robbed

    hence sea shepherd are not pirates

    Hence? The courts didn't define the legal definition of piracy. Nations do. Privateers like Watson don't care what ANY nation's law say. He doesn't believe that any of them apply to him or his eco-terrorist band of ne'er-do-wells. Watson rejects the laws of Canada, Norway, Russia, the U.S.A., Costa Rica, Japan, Germany, Spain, Malta, Scotland, Namibia, Iceland, Makah, Faroe Islands, Portugal, Belize, UK, and Togo just to name a few.

    Watson uses violence as a means to an end. And you support his violence. Greenpeace has called Watson a violent extremist and refuses to have anything to do with Watson's violence. Your standards are different.

    The eco-terrorist SS repeated violent actions clearly violate the UNCLOS, the SUA Convention and the COLREGS against piracy. Piracy is violence committed on the high seas by private parties for their own gain. While robbery is considered one form of "gain", so is forcing others to do your bidding. Watson's inept pirate leaders "gain" attention in order to line their own pockets with pro-violence donations.

    The eco-terrorist SS are not affiliated with any nation. That makes them private parties in the eyes of the law. The eco-terrorist SS have NO legal authorization to attack anyone. Private parties committing acts of violence in international waters are pirates, whether you agree with that definition or not.

    pointofview - Since 2001, if you disagree with a government or bureaucratic thuggery you are considered some kind of terrorist or pirate. go figure. Just another corrupt way to lock people up.

    The eco-terrorist SS use of violence earned them their well deserved reputation as eco-terrorists and as pirates. Violence is not the answer. Watson will be locked up eventually because he repeatedly resorts to acts of violence. The U.S. court will eventually decide how much Watson and the eco-terrorist SS will be penalized for their repeated acts of violence.

    Thunderbird2 - Strange - I thought pirates plundered other ships for their loot, drank lots of rum and ale, and generally had a fun time arrrrr.... How can SS be compared to them? Do they plunder other ships and steal their loot? Nope. Do they have eye-patches and peg-legs, hooks for hands and go "arrrrr" all day long? Nope.

    Your thoughts maight make sense for someone who gets their information from Hollyweird movies. That might explain why you don't understand the legal definition of piracy. The eco-terrorist SS repeated violent activities clearly violate the UNCLOS, the SUA Convention and the COLREGS against piracy.

    Tony Ew - SS says: I came, I saw, I PROTECT the whales! I SAW THEM FIRST, so off I go to form a protective zone around the pod of whales.

    If Japan really want to intimidate SS once and for all, send some military ships to scare off SS but that would cost the Japanese taxpayers too much yen isn't it?

    Watson isn't forming a protective zone around a pod of whales. He blocking the path of refueling vessels. Refueling vessels have limited manuvering capabilities. Watson is also ordering his eco-terrorist SS to violate the 500 yard buffer zone in order to ram and entangle the whaling vessels with reinforced ropes. There ARE NO PODS OF WHALES where Watson is currently conducting acts of piracy.

    If Watson wasn't intimidated, he wouldn't have fled from the Costa Rica court or the Canadian court or the German court or abandonded his leadership position (but not the actual leadership) of the eco-terrorist SS. Watson is a fugitive. If he's detained, he's heading for Costa Rica AFTER he answers for any crimes OR UNLAWFUL VIGILANTE ACTION committed against the nation that detains him.
