The Future of the Global Tobacco Treaty Negotiations
Abstract
The tobacco business is a global enterprise that has caused a worldwide public health crisis — by the year 2020 an estimated 8.4 million people will succumb annually to tobacco-related diseases. This week's Sounding Board article discusses the ongoing response of the World Health Assembly of the World Health Organization to this crisis — to draft and adopt an international treaty called the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which aims to establish worldwide standards for tobacco control.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
