Is the WHO Breaking its Own Treaty? Jeannie Cameron on FCTC & Article 2.1

Is the World Health Organization overstepping its mandate? In this sixth episode of Season 2 of Let's Clear Things Up (Aclaremos las Cosas), a Vaping Today project, hosts Manuel and Alejandra sit down with Jeannie Cameron , CEO of JCIC International and international law expert. We take a deep dive into the controversy surrounding Article 2.1 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and question the legality of new measures that seem to bypass harm reduction strategies. Jeannie breaks down why the lack of transparency within the WHO is alarming compared to other bodies like the WTO, and how the exclusion of civil society and consumer groups is impacting the future of global public health. In this episode: Is Article 2.1 a legal "overreach"? The lack of enforcement and accountability mechanisms in the FCTC. Transparency: Why are doors being closed to the press and public? The crucial role of harm reduction in national sovereignty. 🎧 Note: A Spanish-dubbed version of this interview is also available on our feed. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔗 For more news, click here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔗 Click to take action.
