TOBACCO CONTROL LAWS

Federation of All India Farmer Associations v. Union of India

In addition to various objections regarding the government's implementation of the WHO FCTC, the Federation of All India Farmer Associations (FAIFA) seeks participation in COP7.  Instead of ordering FAIFA's participation on the India delegation, the court required that FAIFA approach the government and that the government make a decision regarding FAIFA's participation in accordance with law.
