26 January 2015 - The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control

Launch of Global Health Law Groningen. The event focussed on the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, one of the most successful instruments under global health law. Mr Phon van den Biessen, lawyer in the recent case against the Netherlands (on the perceived dense ties between the Dutch government and the tobacco industry) talked about his experiences in this case. After this introduction we had a panel discussion about the potential of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control with Mr van den Biessen and some experts from the University of Groningen.
