AGADIR, Morocco, June 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Dr Susan Lieberman, director of international policy for the Pew Environment Group, issued the following statement today in response to the International Whaling Commission's (IWC) Annual Meeting concluding without any results from the three-year effort to reconcile the impasse between pro-whaling and anti-whaling countries. We are deeply disappointed that the governments present here, after more than 3 years of intense work, could not reach a solution that will benefit whale conservation. In particular, the lack of sufficient flexibility shown by Japan to phase out its whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary prevented a decision from being adopted. Continuation of the impasse here may retain the whaling moratorium on paper, but...
WASHINGTON, June 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Efforts to finally bring an end to the impasse between pro-whaling and anti-whaling countries in the International Whaling Commission (IWC) will be the focus of the IWC's Annual Meeting, opening in Agadir, Morocco, on Monday, June 21. The "Save the Whales" campaign of the 1970s and 1980s mobilized governments and the public around the world behind the moratorium on commercial whaling, which was enacted by the IWC in 1982 and implemented in 1986. Twenty-four years later, however, three countries--Japan, Norway and Iceland--continue to kill whales for commercial purposes. Japan hunts under the guise of "scientific whaling," and Norway and Iceland have filed official objections that allow them to ignore the moratorium.
NMFS notifies the public of the aboriginal subsistence whaling quota for bowhead whales that it has assigned to the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission (AEWC), and of limitations on the use of the quota deriving from regulations adopted at the 59th Annual Meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC). For 2012, the quota is 75 bowhead whales struck. This quota and other applicable limitations govern the harvest of bowhead whales by members of the AEWC.
FRIGATE BAY, St. Kitts, June 16 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Japan failed today by a narrow margin to lead pro-whaling nations to a simple majority voting control of the International Whaling Commission (IWC). Representatives from 66 nations are convening in the Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis, June 16-20, for the 58th meeting of the IWC to debate whether a 1986 global moratorium on whaling should be lifted, allowing whales to be hunted commercially. Japan's proposal for secret ballots was defeated 33 votes to 30 votes with one abstention. The news of the Japan's failed takeover of the IWC left the global conservation community relieved, but cautious.
