The WHO FCTC Article 13 requires all Parties to undertake a comprehensive ban on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship within five years of ratifying the treaty.
At its third session in November 2008, the Conference of the Parties (COP) adopted guidelines for implementation of Article 13 on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship (decision FCTC/COP3(12)). These guidelines are available from the WHO FCTC website (http://who.int/fctc/protocol/guidelines/adopted/article_13/en/index.html)
