- The Federation of All India Farmer Associations (FAIFA) has strongly criticised the decision of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO-FCTC) to exclude tobacco farmers and their representatives from participating in the 11th Conference of the Parties (COP11). The global meeting is scheduled to be held in Geneva from November 17 to 22, 2025.
- FAIFA termed the exclusion “illogical and discriminatory,” arguing that it undermines the principles of transparency, inclusivity, and fairness that the UN and WHO are expected to uphold. The farmers’ request to attend as observers was reportedly denied on the grounds that their interests conflicted with FCTC’s health objectives.
