TL;DR: In this paper, some recent developments in the framework of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) practice are discussed, and the authors make tentative comments about this difference of opinion and its consequences.
Abstract: Since the moratorium on commercial whaling decided by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1982, its activity has been characterised by measures which aim at protecting whales instead of encouraging their exploitation. After recalling some of the features of the 1946 International Convention on the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW) and the problems concerning its implementation, the article deals with some recent developments in the framework of the IWC's practice. It illustrates the different positions of the IWC's members who want to whale the abundant species and of those who want to ban whaling for good. Finally, the article contains some tentative comments about this difference of opinion and its consequences.

TL;DR: The UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) was adopted in November 2001 and is designed to create a legal framework to regulate interference with underwater cultural heritage in international waters as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, adopted in November 2001, is designed to create a legal framework to regulate interference with underwater cultural heritage (UCH) in international waters. This article briefly considers the background to the Convention and discusses its main provisions. These relate to the scope of application of the Convention; its objectives and general principles; its approach to private rights; its treatment of state vessels and the question of sovereign immunity; and its relationship with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982. The article then goes on to examine in detail the control mechanisms that the Convention adopts in respect of each maritime zone and the sanctions that contracting states will be required to impose for violations. Finally, dispute settlement procedures are briefly considered, before the article concludes with comments on the Convention's likely impact and effectiveness.
