Abstract
Modernisation of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW) has long been proposed by some contracting
states and outsiders as a way of resolving the ‘‘Whaling Dispute’’ within the International Whaling Commission (IWC); however, both
sides of the debate have traditionally been unconvinced that they would gain enough benefit to make the process worthwhile.
Since the collapse of the negotiations on the Revised Management Scheme, the pro-whalers within the IWC have pursued an agenda of
‘‘Normalisation’’ of the IWC in an attempt to resume sustainable commercial whaling under what they believe is the true intent and
wording of the ICRW. An attractive alternative to normalisation, particularly to many anti-whalers, is the rewriting of the Convention
itself to incorporate many of the elements of more modern conventions, and to remove the clauses in the ICRW which have allowed prowhaling
members of the IWC to carry out whaling operations despite the disapproval of the majority.
