[Reproduced from the text provided by the U.S. Department of State.

[Delegations from the signatories of the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 - Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Chile, France, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, United States - participated in a conference in London from February 3-11, 1972, which produced the agreed text of the convention.

[The convention will be open for signature from June 1 to December 31, 1972.

[Measures adopted under the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 protect seals and other animals on land and ice shelves south of 60° south latitude but provide no protection to seals in the water and on sea ice. The new convention is intended to repair this omission and to establish conservation measures in advance of the possible development of commercial sealing in the area.

[The statements of Chile and the United States concerning the convention, appended to the Final Act of the Conference on the Conservation of Antarctic Seals, appear at I.L.M. page 417.]
