“…Despite the ban, Japan, Iceland and Norway continue to kill whales. Japan and Iceland do so for commercial purposes by exploiting a loophole in the Convention that allows "scientific whaling."

Nor does this ban cover small whales, as Japan and a handful of other nations refuse to accept the IWC jurisdiction over small whales and dolphins…”

IWC, Saint Kitts and Nevis — We’re all breathing a sigh of relief as news comes through from St Kitts that pro-whaling nations led by Japan have failed to gain a majority at the International Whaling Commission (IWC). But that doesn’t mean they’ve seen the last of us – we are also announcing our return to the Southern Ocean this year to oppose the continued ‘scientific hunt’ which will target 935 minke whales and ten endangered fin whales.
