Assembled from 50 blocks · 1 evidence · 80 related

1. Story
2. The IWC designates about 50 million square kilometres around Antarctica as a sanctuary in which commercial whaling is prohibited, by 23 votes in favour with Japan opposed. The northern boundary runs along 40°S, except at 55°S in the Indian Ocean sector and 60°S around South America and into the South Pacific. The designation is reviewed every ten years.

50. The Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary was established by the IWC in 1994, with 23 states in favour and Japan opposed, covering about 50 million square kilometres around Antarctica; its northern boundary follows 40°S except in the Indian Ocean sector, where it meets the Indian Ocean Whale Sanctuary at 55°S, and around South America and into the South Pacific, where it is at 60°S. Its status is reviewed every ten years.
