The 54th Annual
Meeting of the International Whaling Commission
Analysis
of Selected Issues
The
54th Annual Meeting of the IWC took place from 20 to 24 May 2002 in
Shimonoseki, Japan. These meetings are usually controversial affairs,
although this year's proved to be more controversial than usual, largely
because
of the failure to reach agreement on certain aboriginal subsistence
quotas. This series of reports, prepared by the IFB Editorial Team,
discusses four of the main issues at this year's meeting: Icelandic
membership, commercial whaling and the RMS, whale sanctuaries and
aboriginal subsistence whaling.
