In 1972 the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment called for a ten year moratorium on commercial whaling. The International Whaling Commission (IWC, then made up of 14 member governments) did not accept this resolution, taking the view that regulation by species and stocks was the more practical method of whale conservation. In the following years it reduced catches, introduced a new management procedure, and embarked on an international decade of cetacean research.
