Japan to withdraw from International Whaling Commission in bid to resume
commercial whaling: sources
Japan has decided to withdraw from the International Whaling Commission in a
bid to resume commercial whaling, government sources said Thursday.
The decision, which will be announced by the end of this year, comes as pro-
and anti-whaling members of the IWC have been stuck in decades of
confrontation.
Japan’s pullout, currently planned for next year, could spark criticism from
European and other countries opposed to the practice of whaling. It is
extremely rare for Japan to withdraw from an international organization.
根据政府相关消息人士指出，
日本已经决定退出国际捕鲸委员会(International Whaling Commission)
并且恢复商业捕鲸的活动
预计将于今年年底正式宣布这一项消息
而日本方面则是计画在明年正式退出IWC，势必会引起欧洲和其他反对捕鲸国家的反弹声浪
对于日本来说退出国际性组织也是非常罕见的举动
