As noted above, the WHO can issue binding treaties, and the FCTC was a significant first example of this important authority.
The paper assesses the merits of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the FCTC as distinct global processes for advancing health development, before considering what lessons might be learned for enhancing the implementation of the Global Strategy on Diet.

What the WHO FCTC and National Tobacco Control Action Plans ask countries to monitor, the GYTS can help to measure.
MPOWER, the FCTC, and the CDC all recommend monitoring of tobacco policy.
