The International Whaling Regime

In the international whaling system of Sydney Holt's article "Whale Mining, Whale Rescue" said that "millions of people are an important test for preventing political environmental destruction." 1985) In a world where environmental problems are often large enough to solve the problem, few people can solve the problem well. If we judge the effectiveness of the system by changing the members' ability to act and encourage others to participate, the whaling regime is actually very effective.

Those who make such a request can only prove that ignorance applies to the whale system of whales. Whaling is managed and managed at several levels, including international treaties and agreements such as the International Whaling Treaty underlying the International Whaling Commission (IWC), the North Atlantic Mammal Committee establishment agreement (NAMMCO), etc. Or, as in the law established at the national level like the "Marine Life Mammal Protection Law", "Protection Agreement for the Baltic Sea and North Sea Whale (ASCOBANS)". Only one sovereign country can "dominate" what happens within its jurisdiction. That is, if they are found in the territorial waters of the state, or if ships registered in the state meet them in the high seas. This has also been repeated in Agenda 21 created by the Rio Conference on Environment and Development in 1992 (UNCED).

In 1946, 15 whaling nations established the International Whaling Commission, but its member countries are also open to non-whaling nations. There is no law enforcement function. It forbids the killing of blue whale, humpback whale, and the right whale, limited hunting season, and sets 16,000 "blue whale" annually at the Antarctic Limit. Between 1949 and 1952, more than 2,000 hundreds of humpback whales were harvested every year in Antarctica, despite 1,250 annual budgets. From 1959 to 1964 there was a difference in the pause between the blue whale and the humpback whale and in the scientific proposal it was recommended to limit the 2,800 blue whale eventually, but the International Whaling Commission had 8,000 We adopted quota. In 1970, the US prohibited importing whale products and added all commercial whales to the list of threatened species. The 10-year moratorium proposal was rejected in 1971, 1972 and 1974, but species assignment was adopted and reduced. Consumer resistance of Japanese and Russian products began in 1974. Because they are the most active hunters of a large whale.
