This book reviews the challenges and opportunities in the
implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control
(FCTC) at the regional and national levels in Africa. It contains
an analysis of the relevant norms and monitoring mechanisms at the
regional level, and case studies from selected African and other
developing countries. The WHO has noted that tobacco use or
exposure to tobacco is a major health risk factor for
non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This volume highlights the
importance of taking measures to control tobacco use in Africa with
a view to preventing these risks. With contributions from experts
from the Global South, the book provides a critical analysis of the
role that human rights can play in mitigating the impact of tobacco
use and NCDs, and the implementation of the FCTC. The book contains
a systematic and in-depth analysis of how efforts to realise the
right to health under international and regional law can help to
address the incidence of tobacco use in the developing world. The
collection will be an important resource for academics, researchers
and policymakers working in the areas of public health law and
international human rights.
