The Secretariat of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (Convention Secretariat) has noted with concern communications by third parties implying they work in partnership with the Convention Secretariat, or that their products are in compliance with the obligations under the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products (Protocol).
It is important to emphasize that the Convention Secretariat in no manner or form engages with or endorses any commercial entity.
We ask Parties to remain vigilant on claims made by third parties on this regard. In case of doubt on the legitimacy of any claims or communications, please refer to this website or contact us directly through protocolfctc@who.int.
