This comprehensive book delves into the complexities and opportunities associated with implementing the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) at the regional and national levels in Africa. It offers a thorough analysis of the relevant norms and monitoring mechanisms in place at the regional level, complemented by case studies from a diverse range of African and other developing countries.

Contributions from experts from the Global South provide valuable insights into the role of human rights in mitigating the impact of tobacco use and NCDs, as well as the implementation of the FCTC.
The book employs a systematic and in-depth approach to examine how efforts to realize the right to health under international and regional law can contribute to addressing the prevalence of tobacco use in the developing world. It offers valuable insights for academics, researchers, and policymakers engaged in the fields of public health law and international human rights.
Overall, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the challenges and opportunities in implementing the FCTC in Africa, and its contributions will undoubtedly contribute to the ongoing efforts to promote health and well-being in the region and beyond.
