Anti-whalers boycott Japan push


A special meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) called by Japan has been boycotted by nearly half of the membership.

Just 34 of the commission's 72 nations have turned up for the meeting, which Japan hoped would ease the stand-off between pro- and anti-whaling members.
