Becoming a Party to the Protocol
Becoming a Party to the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products
24 November 2019
| Meeting report
Overview
Due to the legal relationship between the Protocol and its “parent” treaty, the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), a State can become a Party to the Protocol only if it is a Party to the Convention.
The rationale is the legal relationship between the two which determines that the provisions of the Protocol build on those of the Convention.
The process for becoming a Party is the same for the Protocol as for the Convention.
