IWC Publications

The IWC publishes the Annual Report of the International Whaling Commission and the Journal of Cetacean Research and Management.

The Annual Report of the International Whaling Commission contains the Chair’s report of the most recent annual meeting and any Resolutions which were agreed.  It also contains the Schedule to the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling as updated at the most recent annual meeting, along with current versions of the Commissions Rules of Procedure.  The report also includes the most recent set of the Commission’s audited accounts.

Annual Reports can be downloaded free of charge here.  Hardcopy versions can be obtained from the Secretariat, although there is a small charge to cover postage and printing costs.

The Journal of Cetacan Research and Management (JCRM) is a scientific journal publishing original peer reviewed research.  A supplement is produced each year which contains the full report of the IWC’s Scientific Committee meeting.  Further details on the JCRM, including subscription charges can be found here.
