新冠肺炎》日內瓦 WHO FCTC 會議延期2021舉辦
據《世界衛生組織WHO》消息，鑑於新冠肺炎(COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2)全球大流行及其對國際全球會議和旅行的影響，由COP8和MOP1選出的主席團在與主辦國協商後，決定延後召開第九屆締約方大會。原定於2020年11月舉行的世界衛生組織煙草控制框架公約 WHO FCTC（COP9）和《消除菸草製品非法貿易議定書》締約方第二次會議（MOP2）不可能如期舉辦。
因此，主席團在與主辦國和 WHO FCTC 秘書處協商後，於2020年4月21日舉行的第三次聯席會議上決定將COP9和MOP2的會議推遲至以下日期：
WHO FCTC COP9：2021年11月8日至13日，MOP2：2021年11月15日至17日。
會議將在這些日期在荷蘭海牙舉行。
