Honduras became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on May 17, 2005.
The government of Honduras has not authorized a procedure to openly expose the record of interactions with the tobacco industry and its representatives despite having a transparency portal from the Institute Access to Public Information and an Open Government initiative website both do not apply to this sector.
There is no restrictive code of ethics to standardize the interaction of public executives with the tobacco industry; however, there is a document proclaimed, "Code of Ethical Conduct of the Public Servant" Decree No.362007, which outlines the correct procedure that public representatives must-have in the administration of their duties.
