The Convention Secretariat requested the McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer (based in Melbourne, Australia), a joint initiative of the Union for International Cancer Control and its member organization, Cancer Council Victoria, to serve as a knowledge hub in relation, in particular, to legal challenges to implementation of the WHO FCTC. The hub will assist the Secretariat to facilitate the exchange of information and cooperation between Parties, and provide technical assistance.
Through the McCabe Centre knowledge hub website, Parties and interested partners can find information regarding the WHO FCTC, State obligations under international trade and investment law, and the relationships between them. The knowledge hub site also provides information on ongoing trade and investment challenges to implementation of tobacco control measures.
