Summary of provisions: (a) Applies to seas south of latitude 60° south, to five species of seals and to all southern fur seals (art. 1); (b) Annex contains specific measures adopted by the parties. Parties may also take measures relating to permissible catch, protected and unprotected species, open and closed areas and seasons, designated areas where seals are not to be disturbed, types of gear, etc. (art. 3); (c) Parties to exchange information among themselves and through the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research of ICSU. (Source: UNEP Register of International Treaties and Other Agreements in the Field of the Environment, 2005) Commentaire This Convention relates to all species of seal in the sea south of 60° South. The Convention contains a prohibition on the killing or taking of seals otherwise than in accordance with the Convention, which confers absolute protection on some species. The Convention, in respect of those species which may be taken for the purposes of conservation, scientific study and rational and humane use of seal resources, imposes limits on the permissible catch, provides for close seasons, prescribes killing zones, seeks to promote research into appropriate methods of taking, provides for the setting of size limits for seals which may be taken, provides for the imposition of limits to the sealing effort which may be deployed, etc. The Convention also provides for States Parties to maintain catch data and other statistical and biological records and for the review and assessment of scientific information. Provision is also made for an inspection regime to ensure compliance. The Parties must exchange scientific information with one another and with the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research. Information must also be given on national legislation passed in pursuance of the Convention. SCAR is required to assess the information it receives and to make recommendation for further scientific work. Notwithstanding the protection accorded by the Convention, provision is made for the taking of limited numbers of seals under a special permit system in order to provide 'indispensable food' for men or dogs, for scientific research or other educational or similar purposes. In the event of renewal of commercial sealing, provisions govern the control of such operations and the securing of proper scientific advice.
