Whaling body agrees path to peace
Santiago, Chile -- June 25, 2008: The global body responsible for whales and whaling has opened the door to the eventual partial lifting of the commercial whaling ban. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) adopted a reform path aimed at finding compromise between pro- and anti-hunting countries. Delegates at the Commission's annual meeting in Chile agreed the current impasse should not continue. Governments will try to agree a package of measures by next year's IWC meeting.
