WHO's mandate on monitoring the tobacco industry
WHA Resolution 54.18
During the 54th World Health Assembly in May 2001, WHO’s Member States unanimously adopted a resolution calling for transparency in tobacco control. This was a response to their concerns about the fact that the tobacco industry had been operating for years with the express intention of subverting the role of governments and of WHO in implementing public health policies to combat the tobacco epidemic.
