joined the IWC in 1981 then left 1983 without voting on the
ban on whaling in 1982. It rejoined the IWC in 1992, mostly
taking a pro-whaling position, but often abstaining on key
votes, including the vote to establish the Southern Ocean Sanctuary.
However since 1997 Dominica has voted almost exactly in line
with Japan, with 95 out of 98 votes cast mirroring Japan’s
vote.
TAKE ACTION
Email the government departments of Dominica, urging them to oppose commercial
whaling.
