WHALING GROUP EXTENDS BAN, OVER OBJECTIONS

The International Whaling Commission has decided to uphold its global moratorium on commercial whaling for another year, despite strong protests from principal whaling nations.

At its annual meeting, which ended Friday in the Netherlands, the IWC withstood strong pressure from Japan, Norway and Iceland to amend the worldwide ban on whaling and allow limited hunting of minke whales in the Atlantic. - The Washington Post
