La CBI se fundó en 1946 como el organismo mundial encargado de la conservación de las ballenas y la gestión de la caza de ballenas. La Comisión cuenta actualmente con 88 países miembros en el mundo. El mandato no ha cambiado, pero existen muchas nuevas preocupaciones de conservación y el programa de trabajo de la CBI ahora también incluye caza incidental y eventos de enredo, choques con barcos, ruido del océano, contaminación y desechos, y observación sostenible de ballenas.
