SIGN THE DECLARATION AND JOIN A GLOBAL CALL TO HAVE RIGHTS FORMALLY DECLARED FOR
CETACEANS


DECLARATION OF RIGHTS FOR CETACEANS: WHALES AND DOLPHINS

Based on the principle of the equal treatment of all persons;
Recognizing that scientific research gives us deeper insights into the
complexities of cetacean minds, societies and cultures;
Noting that the progressive development of international law manifests an
entitlement to life by cetaceans;
We affirm that all cetaceans as persons have the right to life, liberty and
wellbeing.
We conclude that:

 1.  Every individual cetacean has the right to life.
 2.  No cetacean should be held in captivity or servitude; be subject to cruel
     treatment; or be removed from their natural environment.
 3.  All cetaceans have the right to freedom of movement and residence within
     their natural environment.
 4.  No cetacean is the property of any State, corporation, human group or
     individual.
 5.  Cetaceans have the right to the protection of their natural environment.
 6.  Cetaceans have the right not to be subject to the disruption of their
     cultures.
 7.  The rights, freedoms and norms set forth in this Declaration should be
     protected under international and domestic law.
 8.  Cetaceans are entitled to an international order in which these rights,
     freedoms and norms can be fully realized.
 9.  No State, corporation, human group or individual should engage in any
     activity that undermines these rights, freedoms and norms.
 10. Nothing in this Declaration shall prevent a State from enacting stricter
     provisions for the protection of cetacean rights.

Agreed, 22nd May 2010, Helsinki, Finland
