Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: On 24 May, 1999, the World Health Assembly passed a resolution which set in motion a multi-year negotiation leading to the adoption of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Over the next four years, a group of public health NGOs helped establish a coalition of NGOs to lobby for a strong treaty from every region in the world- a coalition of public health, human rights, consumer rights, women's and children's rights organizations and environmental activists. This group, which has now grown to over 200 organizations from almost 90 countries, operated on a shoestring with each group contributing its own expertise, materials and hard work. Working with a coalition of willing countries (India, Thailand, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the island nations of the Pacific and Caribbean and the entire continent of Africa- Anglophone and francophone) and many others, this coalition was able to thwart the desires of the US government for a weak and ineffectual treaty. On March 1, 2003 at around 4 in the morning the negotiations ended with most countries giving speeches of congratulations, and only the US threatening to try to derail the treaty before the World Health Assembly could adopt it and place it before the world for ratification. This case study details how this coalition of NGOs and governments achieved this goal.
