The Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) is currently the most potent tool for implementation of tobacco control laws across the globe. The FCTC is derivative from previously constructed international human rights conventions. These previous conventions have enforcement mechanisms, unlike the FCTC. However, the FCTC relies on state parties to report periodically on its implementation rather than on a continuous monitoring system. The Human Rights and Tobacco Control Network proposes that abiding by the principles of human rights delineated by international treaties, citizens across the globe can demand effective action for tobacco control. This paper explains the link between fundamental human rights and the right to tobacco control. Mechanisms are described to link the FCTC and its principles with human rights-based monitoring reports, which are provided to oversight committees for the other human rights conventions. The initial work of the Human Rights and Tobacco Control Network is summarised and considers the future directions for the human rights-based approach to tobacco control.
《烟草控制框架公约》（FCTC）目前是全球范围内实施烟草控制法律的最有力工具。FCTC 源自先前制定的国际人权公约。这些先前的公约有执行机制，而 FCTC 则没有。然而，FCTC 依赖缔约国定期报告其实施情况，而不是依赖连续监测系统。人权与烟草控制网络提议，遵守国际条约规定的人权原则，全球公民可以要求采取有效行动控制烟草。本文解释了基本人权与烟草控制权利之间的联系。描述了将 FCTC 及其原则与基于人权的监测报告联系起来的机制，这些报告提供给其他人权公约的监督委员会。总结了人权与烟草控制网络的初步工作，并考虑了基于人权的烟草控制方法的未来方向。
