We examine the reasons for claiming this as an exception to general international norms for whaling. We conclude that the reasons advanced by whaling nations for continuing their activities cannot be justified on a scientific basis. We therefore call on international bodies, particularly the International Whaling Commission, to re-examine their position on scientific whaling and on the process for granting permits to whale under this exception.
