Abstract

This Agreement, in the form of exchange of letters between the Parties, concerns the implementation of a three-point agreement reached between the Parties in Ottawa on 9 September, 1987. This Agreement obliges Iceland to submit its whale research programme to the International Whaling Commission and in return obliges the United States to refrain from certifying the Government of Iceland or its nationals of Iceland for the taking of 80 fin whales and 20 "sei" whales taken in 1987, nor for whales taken in 1988 and thereafter as long as the Government of Iceland complies with its obligation as set forth above.
