Answer to Question 1

In 1946, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) was established in an effort to manage the subsistence and commercial hunting of large whales. In 1986, the 72 nations that are members of the IWC passed a ban on commercial whaling in order to allow whales to recover from overhunting and to give researchers time to develop methods for assessing whale populations. Today, the ban on whaling is still in effect, although some countries such as Japan, Norway, and Iceland have killed more than 35,000 whales since the 1986 whaling moratorium. Despite concerns about the practice of killing whales, some nations have proposed to end the ban on whaling and establish annual whale kill quotas. The ban on killing whales can be reversed only by a three-quarters majority vote of IWC member nations.
