138. The Court did not hear directly from Japanese scientists involved in designing JARPA II. During the oral proceedings, however, a Member of the Court asked Japan what analysis it had conducted of the feasibility of non-lethal methods prior to setting the sample sizes for each year of JARPA II, and what bearing, if any, such analysis had had on the target sample sizes. In response, Japan referred to two documents: (1) Annex H to the 1997 interim review of JARPA by the Scientific Committee and (2) an unpublished paper that Japan submitted to the Scientific Committee in 2007.
