Resumen

The International Whaling Commission
HAVING ESTABLISHED zero catch limits for commercial whaling in paragraph 10 (e) of the Schedule;
CONCERNED that the Government of Norway, having lodged an objection to paragraph 10 (e) of the
Schedule, has unilaterally authorised commercial whaling on minke whales;

CONCERNED ALSO that, despite IWC Resolutions 1995-5, 1996-5 and 1997-3 calling on the Government of
Norway to halt immediately all whaling activities under its jurisdiction, Norway has again increased the quota
it sets for commercial whaling;

REAFFIRMING its view that commercial whaling should not take place while paragraph 10 (e) of the
Schedule remains in force.

NOW THEREFORE THE COMMISSION:
CALLS UPON the Government of Norway to reconsider its objection to paragraph 10 (e) of the Schedule and
to halt immediately all whaling activities under its jurisdiction.
