100 day countdown for smokefree: Take 5 minutes to have your voice heard
From: Ms. Sandra Tavares moreira [tavaresmoreira@globalink.org]
Today Friday, March 23, 2007 marks the 100 day countdown to the second Conference of the Parties (CoP-2) of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) which will meet in Bangkok, Thailand from 29th June until July 6th, 2007. At CoP-2, parties to the treaty will consider and possibly adopt guidelines on the implementation of Article 8 to provide protection against secondhand smoke. These guidelines should serve as best practices for countries in the implementation of their smokefree air laws.
In the lead up to the Conference of the Parties, the Global Smokefree Partnership is launching a Global Voices Campaign to gain and secure support from countries for strong and effective Article 8 Guidelines.
Please join the Global Voices Campaign by adding your Voice and supporting the Campaigns’ Principles (pls. see below). The Global Voices Campaign Principles will be presented to delegates at the COP-2 meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.
You can sign on as an individual, or on behalf of your organisation. Here is the link for signing on to the campaign online:http://www.globalsmokefreepartnership.org/globalvoices/. If you want to become more involved in the campaign, there is an option on the website to let us know. Please also tell your friends and colleagues about the campaign (link available).
If you have questions or comments, please mail us at info@globalsmokefreepartnership.org
Looking forward to hearing your voice!
