IWC
International Convention for the Regulation
of Whaling
The 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling provides for
the proper conservation of whale stocks and thus make possible the orderly development
of the whaling industry. It contains a provision that the utilization of whale
stocks should be based on "scientific findings" so that optimum levels of whale
stocks could be achieved and maintained.
The International Whaling Commission (IWC)
was formed to regulate the industry.
