What Are Some Existing Multilateral Treaties Related to Cancer?
While there are no specific multilateral treaties dedicated solely to cancer, several international agreements address broader health issues that include cancer. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is a landmark treaty aimed at reducing tobacco consumption, a major risk factor for cancer. Additionally, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include targets for reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases, including cancer, by one-third by 2030.
