Draft Resolution for IWC 64
Highly migratory cetaceans in the high seas
Submitted by Monaco

1. Noting that the overwhelming majority of marine cetacean species currently recognized by the IWC are highly
migratory species and thus critically dependent on international cooperation for their conservation and
management;

2. Noting that Articles 65 and 120 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) require States
to cooperate with a view to the conservation of marine mammals and, in the case of cetaceans, to work through
the appropriate international organizations for their conservation, management and study both within and
beyond the exclusive economic zone;

3. Concerned that efforts by coastal and island States to protect these migratory species depend upon effective
conservation efforts on the high seas;

4. Recalling that, due to a divergence of views among IWC Parties over the taxonomic coverage of the ICRW, only
38 highly migratory species of cetacean are included in the ICRW Schedule, without addition of any further
species in the last 35 years;

5. Regretting that most countries engaged in whaling have a policy of not providing data to the IWC Scientific
Committee on cetacean species which in their view are not covered by the ICRW;

6. Expressing deep concern that current catches of cetaceans in the world's oceans ‐ with the single exception of
those meeting aboriginal subsistence whaling quota ‐ are taken without agreed limits;

NOW therefore the Commission:

7. Calls the attention of the international community to the circumstance that significant unregulated catches of
highly migratory species of cetaceans continue to take place;

8. Invites Contracting Parties to consider this issue in collaboration with the United Nations General Assembly, with
a view to contributing to the conservation efforts of the IWC.
