The Japanese government told the UN's top judicial body it was a court of law, not a "medieval inquisition", as proceedings wrapped up in the whaling dispute between Australia and Japan.
Japan used the final day of the three-week hearing to argue the international court of justice (ICJ) did not have the authority to decide what was or wasn't science.
Canberra wants the 16-judge panel to ban Japan's annual hunt on the basis it is not "for purposes of scientific research" as allowed under article eight of the 1946 whaling convention.
Australia argues the Southern Ocean JARPA program is actually a commercial operation.
