As of October 2023, countries actively engaged in whaling within the International Whaling Commission (IWC) include Japan, Norway, and Iceland.

Other nations may participate in limited whaling for subsistence or cultural purposes, but these three are the most prominent in commercial whaling efforts.

Why is whaling called Japanese whaling?

1500 B.C. Whaling has been going on for centuries. They are mostly killed for food, their blubber, and their insides which are used for most cosmetic products.
When was the whaling ban?
Whaling itself isn't banned. However, commercial whaling was banned in 1986. Whaling is still aloud today if it is for 'scientific research'. Eventhough most countries uses it as a loop hole to kill whales for commercial purposes.
Is America against whaling or for whaling?
America is against whaling. They almost put whales out of the ocean for good when they did do whaling. They wanted their blubber for oil.
How come people did not end whaling?
This is quite a complicated and mixed answer. Whaling is still happening but not to the extent as it used to be going back a generation ago. Commercial whaling was banned in 1986 when the IWC (International Whaling Commission) said that Commercial Whaling is banned due to the reduction of population of numerous whale species. However, mainly Japan, Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands still kill whales. How they are aloud is that they say that what they are doing is for either cultural or scientific purposes. This is a loophole in the IWC Commercial Whaling ban as it means scientific research is allowed. There are people who want to end but the most famous group of people who are anti-whaling group is called Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Since 2002, they have gone to Antarctica to confront the Japanese whalers to reinforce the UN law that instates that what Japan is doing is illegal. However, the Japanese whalers have ignored this, and it wasn't until March 31st, 2014 where the IWC indicated what Sea Shepherd is doing by saying what Japan has done is illegal commercial whaling as it doesn't meet the scientific research standards. There are people who wants Whaling to end, but it the UN's responsibility to reinforce the Commercial Whaling law, but as they aren't it is still allowed to occur despite it being illegal.
