2 Intervenor-appellants Japan Fisheries Association and Japan Whaling Association argued that the imposition of sanctions against a validly objecting member was a violation of international law. The court of appeals rejected this argument in a footnote, noting simply that “[t]here is no prohibition in the Convention against member nations acting unilaterally to force an objecting member . . . to comply with the Convention’s regulations . . . .”. 768 F.2d 426, 429 n.1.
