Abstract

The International Whaling Commission;

RECALLING that at its 44th Annual Meeting, the Commission adopted a Resolution on Humane Killing which urged Contracting Parties to the IWC to continue to promote the development of humane killing methods; and accepted an 11 point action plan as the basis for advice to members of the IWC;

NOTING the progress that has been achieved in furtherance of these objectives in respect of the collection and analysis of data and the presentation of information to the Humane Killing Working Group; CONSCIOUS that there is further data to be collected and further issues to be examined, as set out in the action plan;

RECOGNISING that the action plan encourages the further review of progress;

Now THEREFORE:

RESOLVES that the 1992 Workshop on Humane Killing Methods be reconvened to review and evaluate progress in all areas of the action plan; and that the results and recommendations of the Workshop be reported to the Humane Killing Working Group sufficiently prior to the 47th Annual Meeting, to allow consideration and preparation by the members for discussion; and

ENCOURAGES contracting parties to continue to progress the action plan.
