Coverage of the WHO, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and international tobacco-policy processes. Follow institutional decisions, negotiations and debates about evidence; this is not a catch-all for news outside Europe.
The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control entered into force in 2005. Its governing body, the Conference of the Parties, reviews implementation and takes decisions on the treaty’s operation. Our coverage distinguishes the treaty, COP decisions and proposals from the national laws through which governments act.
