II. Implementation
Activities carried out to implement this Resolution
Policy influencing/advocacy
Describe the results/achievements of the activities
There is a de facto moratorium on killing whales in the South Atlantic at this time. This is, however, not as secure as before since some countries have decided to leave the IWC.
Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
The IWC loosing its ability to regulate all whaling nations opens the door for new whaling efforts. Engaging with the departing nations and building arguments based on science is the best way forward.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
Further engagement with the potential whaling nations and working with the IWC.
Are these actions/activities planned?
Yes
