		It is a sham to say this hunt is for "scientific" reasons when the body for which the "research" is being done, the International Whaling Commission (IWC), does not need the data and has called for the program to be ended," said John Frizell of Greenpeace International.
		At its most recent meeting, the IWC expressed deep concern that the provisions of its charter providing for research whaling were enabling countries to conduct whaling for commercial purposes despite the moratorium on commercial whaling and said that those provisions were not intended to be exploited in order to provide whale meat for commercial purposes.
		Iceland caught its first whale of 2004 a few days ago and Greenpeace is continuing its campaign against the resumed hunt.

		In 1972 "Greenpeace" was used as the name for a coalition of individuals and groups in Britain campaigning against French nuclear weapons tests in the Pacific.
		At the same time there were other Greenpeace groups both in Britain and in some other countries: the different groups were in touch with one another as an informal network of autonomous groups, in particular around the issue of nuclear testing.
		The original London Greenpeace Group has deliberately stayed as a small group of activists, without leaders, with decisions taken by consensus of all those involved, and has always encouraged people in other areas to set up their own active groups rather than "joining" London Greenpeace.
