A concurrent resolution calling for a United States policy of strengthening and maintaining an International Whaling Commission moratorium on the commercial killing of whales, and otherwise expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to conserving and protecting the world's whale population.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that U.S. policy should promote the conservation and protection of whale, dolphin, and porpoise populations, and that the United States should: (1) work to strengthen and maintain the International Whaling Commission (IWC) moratorium on the commercial killing of whales and work toward a similar moratorium on the direct commercial harvest of dolphins and porpoises; (2) work to strengthen the IWC by reaffirming its competence to regulate direct commercial whaling on all species of cetaceans and encourage the IWC to utilize the expertise of its scientific committee by seriously considering the committee's recommendations; (3) endorse France's proposal to the IWC meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, in the summer of 1992 to create a sanctuary in the oceans of the southern hemisphere in which commercial whaling shall be expressly prohibited; and (4) make the fullest use of diplomatic channels, appropriate domestic and international law, and all other available means, in promoting the conservation and protection of the world's whale populations.
