さあ！諸君！捕鯨問題だ！

というわけで、賛成13、反対10、棄権８で可決された決議を
年報43頁から貼っときます。

論理的には有効だけれど、総会で４分の３多数を取って条約附表
に条文を付加しなければ現実的な意味は無く、むしろ「小規模
沿岸捕鯨」の商業性を必死で薄めようとして、（国家）社会主義の
ような足枷を付けてしまったという、奇怪な決議です。

本場の「遅成長野生生物の産業利用不適切」論（C.W.クラーク）は
こんなに反資本主義的な理屈じゃあないんだけどね。奇妙だ。

REP. INT. WHAL. COMMN 46, 1996 　 43頁
Appendix 4. IWC Resolution 1995-3
RESOLUTION ON JAPANESE COMMUNITY-BASED WHALING
WHEREAS the International Whaling Commission, at its
45th Annual Meeting adopted a Resolution (IWC/45/51)
which recognised the socio-economic and cultural needs of
the four community-based whaling communities in Japan
and the ongoing distress to these communities which has
resulted from the whaling moratorium,
WHEREAS the Resolution further instructed the
Commission 'to work expeditiously to alleviate the distress
to these communities which has resulted from the cessation
of minke whaling at its next Annual Meeting,'
WHEREAS the Action Plans tabled in the IWC's 45th and
46th Annual Meetings were rejected due to alleged
commercial elements in the Japanese community-based
whaling operations,
WHEREAS the Government of Japan tabled an improved
Action Plan (IWC/47/SEST1) specifying administrative
arrangements to remove commercial elements from
Japanese community-based whaling. This was an interim
measure taken to alleviate profound social, cultural and dietary
hardships caused by the imposition of the zero quota,
WHEREAS the Action Plan (IWC/47/26) incorporated
further suggestions received from members of the Working
Group on Socio-Economic Implication and Small-type
Whaling at the 47th Annual Meeting of the IWC,
WHEREAS Japan requested an interim relief allocation of
50 minke whales at the 47th Annual Meeting which would
be managed in accordance with the Action Plan
(IWC/47/26),
WHEREAS Japan proposed a Schedule amendment to
insert after Paragraph 13, a new paragraph as follows:
'Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 10, the taking of 50
minke whales from the Okhotsk Sea-West Pacific stock of the North
Pacific in the 1995 season is permitted in order to alleviate the
hardship in the Community-based Whaling communities.'
WHEREAS this proposal was not adopted by vote due to
divergent views expressed by Member States,
WHEREAS the Action Plan (IWC/47/26) itself was
commended by the Member States as a well-documented
and useful tool to manage an interim relief allocation if the
allocation is ever given to Japanese community-based
whaling communities in future, and
WHEREAS Japan further revised the Action Plan
(IWC/47/46), stipulating that the total quota of minke whales
to be authorised under the Action Plan, if an interim relief
allocation is ever given, would be decided in a future Annual
Meeting,
NOW THEREFORE the International Whaling
Commission, at its 47th Annual Meeting:
RECOGNISES the revised Action Plan (IWC/47/46) as
constructive management elements in accordance with IWC
regulations.
