Whales are regarded as a totemic symbol by some nations and as a
natural marine resource by others. This book presents a complex
picture of legal problems surrounding the interpretation of the
International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling and the role
of its regulatory body, the International Whaling Commission.
Contemporary whaling is about the competing interests of whaling
nations (which are in the minority), non-whaling nations (which are
in the majority) and indigenous peoples. Whales are covered by many
international conventions, which has led to a very fragmented legal
situation and does not necessarily ensure that whales are
protected. This is one of the paradoxes of the contemporary
international legal regime which are explored in this book. The
book also examines the contentious issue of the right of indigenous
peoples to whaling and questions whether indigenous whaling is very
different from commercial practices.
