EXPLANATION

"All countries which are members of the United Nations may become members of WHO by accepting its Constitution. Other countries may be admitted as members when their application has been approved by a simple majority vote of the World Health Assembly. Territories which are not responsible for the conduct of their international relations may be admitted as Associate members upon application made on their behalf by the Member or other authority responsible for their international relations."

BACKGROUND:

In Press Release WHO/54, dated: 1. September 2000, WHO/TFI declared:

GLOBAL RESPONSE TO CALL FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS ON TOBACCO

CONTROL ''OVERWHELMING''

The international response to a call for public hearings on global tobacco control has been ''overwhelming'', the World Health Organization (WHO), the world's leading public health agency, said today.

''We were expecting a good response, and are now very encouraged by the overwhelming and diverse range of submissions received,'' said Dr. Derek Yach, Executive Director, Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health at WHO. "This makes it possible for our Member States to listen to a wide range of viewpoints before they craft a Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) to contribute to world heath," he added. ...

The "international response" was not so "overwhelming" as stated by WHO/TFI. Comparing the "member states" with the "response" shows that only a minority responded.

WHO/TFI did not mention the states from which they received submissions. Doing this, it could not become obvious that the response from some regions was not "overwhelming".

In TABLE 4 are compared: WHO member states (listed by WHO-regions) and the submissions from those states.

Duplicate Files are mentioned.
