“A monumental session during the World Health Organization’s (WHO) convention on tobacco control turned into an alarming attack on transparency, accountability and press freedom.  The decision to meet behind closed doors occurred when a discussion began about efforts to decrease tobacco use by increasing the price of tobacco products.  Specifically, the convention attendees were discussing the framework for an international tobacco tax.  This stance raises some serious questions about an organization that for years has operated largely behind the scenes and without the benefit of much public scrutiny.”
