SUBJECT: IWC DEMARCHE - PERU ON OUR SIDE 
 
REF: STATE 56397 
 
1. (U) Summary: ESTHoff discussed Reftel demarche with MFA'S 
Director for Maritime Affairs and International Whaling Commission 
(IWC) Commissioner Doris Sotomayor on May 21.  Peru's dues are paid 
up and the GOP aims to keep it that way.  Sotomayor will attend the 
May IWC meeting; Peru is still solidly with U.S. position on 
conservation, and is willing to support U.S. position on Aboriginal 
Subsistence Whaling (ASW).  Most South American nations just 
concluded a meeting on a uniform position in favor of cetacean 
conservation, which Peru and others hope will be in the form of a 
joint statement by the May 28 IWC meeting.  End Summary. 
 
2. (U) ESTHoff discussed Reftel demarche with MFA'S Director for 
Maritime Affairs and International Whaling Commission (IWC) 
Commissioner Doris Sotomayor on May 21.  Also in attendance were 
Minister Counselor Liliana Gomez (soon to leave for another 
diplomatic posting) and action officer  Jorge Garazatua, who will be 
first POC for IWC matters for the coming year.  Sotomayor will 
attend the May IWC meeting in Anchorage, departing on May 25.  She 
noted that Peru's dues are paid up and that there was broad 
agreement among the Presidency and various interested GOP agencies - 
IMARPE (marine research agency), the Foreign Ministry and PRODUCE 
(the Ministry of Production, under which the Vice Ministry of 
Fisheries regulates cetacean issues) - to keep Peru's payment of 
dues current. 
 
3.  (SBU) Sotomayor said that Peru is still solidly with U.S. 
position on conservation of all cetacean species.  Whaling, as well 
as possession and consumption of cetacean meat are all illegal under 
Peruvian domestic law.  (Note: GOP National Police, Ecological 
Division; PRODUCE; and Foreign Ministry personnel all participated 
in recent State-supported conference on Whale/Dolphin conservation 
and Tourism promotion.  End Note.)   Aboriginal subsistence 
hunting/fishing rights and needs are important to the GOP, and Peru 
is willing to support U.S. position on Aboriginal Subsistence 
Whaling (ASW).  Sotomayor noted that she thinks it will be a very 
close vote on ASW as well as Japan's proposal and she realized the 
importance of conservation-minded voting members. 
 
4.  (SBU) A number of Latin American nations concluded a meeting May 
7 in Santiago on developing a common position on cetacean 
conservation.  The participating nations included Brazil; Argentina; 
Chile (hosting); Peru; Ecuador (Sotomayor not certain); and Costa 
Rica and Mexico from outside of South America. Colombia and 
Venezuela did not attend, but Sotomayor was not certain if this 
reflected an opposing opposition.  The participating nations hoped 
to deliver a joint Latin American statement on cetacean conservation 
at the IWC meeting; now they were vetting the position and proposed 
statement with their governments.  Sotomayor said that with new IWC 
members Ecuador and Costa Rica, who are conservation-minded, and the 
Latins efforts to work out a common position, the prospects are 
better for successful conservation voting. 
 
5.  In the case of Peru, Sotomayor explained that PRODUCE had a few 
concerns which the MFA was addressing.  She characterized the MFA as 
being strongly in favor of conservation while PRODUCE was only 
generally in favor of conservation.  She noted PRODUCE remains in 
favor of a ban on whaling and dolphin hunting in Peruvian waters. 
(Note: Peru has a culinary tradition, derived from Japanese 
immigrants of dolphin meat -locally called mushame -consumption.  A 
State/OESI grant supported local NGO Mundo Azul's campaign to train 
the National Police Ecological Division and fishermen to enforce 
Peruvian prohibitions, reduce dolphin bycatch and channel fishermen 
into whale/dolphin watching as an economic activity.  Dolphin 
consumption has decreased significantly but has not been eradicated. 
 End Note.)

Starting June 8 fisheries/ESTH officer will be Marcos Mandojana,
