International Whaling: Reframing The Iwc Moratorium For The Effective Conservation Of Whales, Kacey Hovden

Animal Law Review

The ocean once teemed with whales at seemingly every tide and crest, but due to centuries of overexploitation, whales are now a rare and coveted sight in many parts of the world. Today, the challenge of preventing these magnificent giants from extinction remains prevalent, with slow recovery rates and continued whaling practices in direct conflict. This Article examines the history of global whaling practices and the International Whaling Commission’s 1986 moratorium and argues for the establishment of an effective regulatory scheme permitting commercial whaling only on abundant whale stocks. The scheme would encourage whaling nations to remain members of the …

Reparations As A Basis For The Makah's Right To Whale, Russell C. D'Costa Jan 2005

Reparations As A Basis For The Makah's Right To Whale, Russell C. D'Costa

Animal Law Review

The grant of whaling rights to the Makah Native-American tribe may be interpreted as a form of reparations owed to the tribe from the United States government. History details the many wrongs inflicted on the Makah by the government, and these wrongs therefore serve as the basis for reparations. Considered first is a brief review of recent attempts by the federal government to compensate Native Americans for past wrongs.

"Save The Whales" V. "Save The Makah": The Makah And The Struggle For Native Whaling, Richard Kirk Eichstaedt Jan 1998

"Save The Whales" V. "Save The Makah": The Makah And The Struggle For Native Whaling, Richard Kirk Eichstaedt

Animal Law Review

In 1997 the International Whaling Commission approved a quota for the Makah Indian Tribe to hunt four gray whales per year, culminating years of legal wrangling and political maneu­vering by all of the concerned parties. Mr. Eichstaedl examines the history of the Makah whaling rights from the Tribe's treaty with the United States in 1855 to the present-day battles with Congress and the IWC. This unfolding story pits a species of whale once on the brink of extinction, against Native Ameri­cans re-asserting a centuries-old custom.
