A detailed briefing, by agenda point, of Greenpeace's positions at IWC63 can be found here.
Greater Transparency
Greenpeace is in support of the UK government's proposal to increase transparency of the IWC. By becoming more transparent and in-line with 21st century multilateral environmental negotiations, the IWC will become more effective at protecting whales.
The Tokyo Two Trial
The appeal verdict of Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki, two Greenpeace activists who over three years ago exposed an embezzlement scandal inside Japan's whaling programme will be heard in Japan on 12 July 2011, the second day of IWC 63. For years, Greenpeace has been calling for an investigation into Sato and Suzuki's evidence-based claims. Read more about the Tokyo Two trial here or watch the live web-stream (with live English translation) of the verdict press briefing here on Tuesday 12 July at 0930 CET here.

UPDATE: The Sendai High Court has upheld the Tokyo Two's September 2010 conviction. Read more here.
Arctic Oil Exploration
The polar oceans are home to a significant proportion of the world's whale populations. Energy exploration in the Arctic region can have many disastrous impacts, including on the whale species and other wildlife that live there. Greenpeace is urging the IWC to further investigate the impacts of the race for Arctic oil on whales as part of its global campaign to save the Arctic and encourage leaders to go beyond oil.
