Celebrating 5 years of the WHO FCTC, looking 5 years ahead |
|
Today
we mark the 5th anniversary of the entry into force of the WHO
Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. As with all anniversaries, today
provides an opportunity both to reflect on and celebrate past successes and to
look ahead to what we hope the future will hold. The
FCTC is a remarkable achievement. It is the first treaty negotiated through the
auspices of the WHO, a resounding recognition that international law has a
critical role to play in global health. It already has 168 Parties.
