Does the Antarctic Treaty Regulate Whaling?

No. The Antarctic Treaty (1959) focuses on:

• Peaceful use only (no military activity).
• Freedom of scientific research and data exchange.
• Freezing territorial claims.
• Environmental protection (later strengthened by the 1991 Madrid Protocol).

Whaling is governed separately by the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (1946) and the International Whaling Commission (IWC). The Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary (1994) bans commercial whaling south of 40°S, but this is an IWC measure, not part of the Antarctic Treaty.
