On the permission of hunting for mammals said the Japanese authorities themselves, when the country withdrew from the International Commission for whaling. After a ban of 33 years, from 2019, Japanese fishermen will be able to return to commercial whaling. 
According to the BBC, the Japanese Whaling Ban Act of 1986 only existed "on paper". Theoretically, it was forbidden, but the whalers still engaged in the production of whale meat and illegally sold it to shops and restaurants.
As far back as 1986, the ban on whaling was not provided on a permanent basis. The countries of Scandinavia and Japan, where the use of the kiten is a tradition, believed that the ban on fishing would be temporary until the population resumed.
Yoshihide Suga, Secretary General of the Japanese Cabinet of Ministers, argues that Japan will stop fishing in Antarctic waters, and whales will be caught only in the water area of the state. Meanwhile, representatives of Greenpeace in Japan are demanding a review of the decision to hunt.
