The Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products is a 2012 World Health Organization treaty, designed to combat the worldwide illicit tobacco trade.
The Protocol is supplementary to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
The Protocol was concluded on 12 November 2012 in Seoul, at the fifth session of the Conference of the Parties to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
The Protocol contains provisions which require a ratifying state to take a variety of measures regarding the tobacco trade, including licensing, tracking and tracing, record-keeping, monitoring and regulating sales by Internet, international transit, and duty-free sales.
The Protocol also promotes international co-operation in information sharing, mutual legal assistance, and extradition of persons suspected of involvement in the illicit tobacco trade.
