International Whaling Commission

International Whaling Commission, Cambridge, United Kingdom

The 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling provides the International Whaling Commission with the dual mandate of both conserving whale stocks and managing whaling.

100 Communication from the Secretary of the International Whaling Commission, 6 July 1994.

48. The International Whaling Commission, at its forty sixth annual meeting, adopted a proposal to establish a Southern Ocean sanctuary where commercial whaling is prohibited.

The years of delay by International Whaling Commission (IWC) member States provides a particular example.

The Forum welcomed the establishment by the International Whaling Commission of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

150. At its 46th Annual Meeting in May 1994, the International Whaling Commission adopted a proposal to establish a quot Southern Ocean Sanctuary quot in which commercial whaling is prohibited.

Since the International Whaling Commission agreed on a moratorium on commercial whaling in 1982, its Scientific Committee has developed conservative scientific methods for determining safe catch limits explicitly taking uncertainty into account.

The Forum had also condemned the international trade in endangered species and welcomed the establishment by the International Whaling Commission of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

The fifty seventh annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission was held in Ulsan, Republic of Korea from 20 to 24 June 2005.

The International Whaling Commission has been involved since the early 1990s in aspects of whale watching as a sustainable use of cetacean resources.

Although the management procedures of the International Whaling Commission take into account environmental factors in a precautionary manner, they are essentially single species approaches.

You going whaling?

Thus, whaling is unethical.

What takes thee whaling?

High seas sanctuaries, where commercial whaling is prohibited, have been established under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling in the Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean.161

It also urged the international community to support the continuation of the moratorium on commercial whaling.

While Japan has suspended its plan to kill humpback whales, its Japanese whaling fleet will still kill about 1,000 other whales, mostly smaller minke whales. Japan justifies its whaling as research, because the International Whaling Commission s rules allow member nations to kill whales for such purposes.

Since the International Whaling Commission moratorium on commercial whaling, several species now appear to be recovering, although the recovery baseline remains controversial.112 Current major threats to some populations of whales and other cetaceans are from by catch, ship strikes, anthropogenic underwater noise, entanglement in fishing equipment and alteration of habitats.

This decision, which bans whaling in about 21 million square kilometres around Antarctica, 97 was in the form of an amendment to the Schedule to the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.

Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser s conservative government accepted his recommendation that whaling be stopped, and Australia soon became an anti whaling nation.

In addition, the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling regulates the conservation and utilization of whale resources.

It could have survived 150 years of whaling.

The Japanese government called off their whaling expedition.

The whale sanctuary was formed by amendment to the schedule to the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.

153. In addition, the Commission accepted and endorsed the Revised Management Procedure for commercial whaling and associated Guidelines for surveys and collection of data.

Sir, I want to see what whaling is like.

Be ye whaling men or no? Pull, ye sheepheads.

Around 1850, one of the biggest U.S. industries was whaling.

Doest know nothing at all about whaling, I daresay. Aye?

International Police Commission

I did not argue that whaling should stop because whales are endangered.

It also considered whale killing methods, animal welfare issues and aboriginal subsistence whaling scientific permits socio economic implications and small type whaling and biological impacts of whale watching on whales.
