Japan to withdraw from International Whaling Commission in bid to resume
commercial whaling: sources
Japan has decided to withdraw from the International Whaling Commission in a
bid to resume commercial whaling, government sources said Thursday.
The decision, which will be announced by the end of this year, comes as pro-
and anti-whaling members of the IWC have been stuck in decades of
confrontation.
Japan’s pullout, currently planned for next year, could spark criticism from
European and other countries opposed to the practice of whaling. It is
extremely rare for Japan to withdraw from an international organization.
根據政府相關消息人士指出，
日本已經決定退出國際捕鯨委員會(International Whaling Commission)
並且恢復商業捕鯨的活動
預計將於今年年底正式宣布這一項消息
而日本方面則是計畫在明年正式退出IWC，勢必會引起歐洲和其他反對捕鯨國家的反彈聲浪
對於日本來說退出國際性組織也是非常罕見的舉動
