Greenpeace kritiserer Grønland

Grønland har i år selv fastsat sine hvalkvoter efter Den Internationale Hvalfangstkommission(IWC) i juni stemte imod at forhøje kvoten. Normalt er det kommissionen, som beslutter hvor mange hvaler der må fanges.

Greenpeace er skuffede over, at Grønland har valgt at gå udenom IWC for at kunne forøge kvoten, skriver dr.dk.

“Det er Den Internationale Hvalfangstkommission, der har kompetence til at sætte kvoter, så det er også dem, der giver kvoterne til Grønland. At sætte sig uden for gør, at man underminerer kommissionens formål og det at forvalte hvaler i fællesskab”, siger havbiolog hos Greenpeace, Hanne Lyng Winter.

Danmark var det eneste EU-land som ikke stemte imod Grønlands ønske i juli. Lise Lyck er cand. polit og centerleder fra Copenhagen Business School med Grønland i speciale. Hun estimerer, at denne beslutning kan skade Grønlands omdømme.

“I det internationale samfund er der en vis adfærd, man holder sig til. Det sætter man sig ud over ved selv at bestemme noget. Så man kan tabe noget international anseelse på det her punkt”, siger Lise Lyck ifølge dr.dk.

Hun tilføjer, at dette er forbundet med at Grønland fik selvstyre i 2009; landet viser altså sin selvstændige position, ved at gå udenom IWC.
