The IWC report for the Intersessional period 2018-22 is available now. Intersessional reports are circulated approximately one month before each full meeting of the Commission. They aim to provide both a summary of the work undertaken by the Commission in the period between meetings, and a general introduction for anyone wishing to learn about the organisation.
The intersessional period is usually approximately two years but postponements due to the Covid-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented four year period. It is not possible to include every project in which the IWC has been involved, but it is nevertheless a useful snapshot and a showcase for the progress made despite the challenges of the pandemic.
