Palau became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on February 27, 2005. Few preventive measures are in place in Palau. While promoting openness and access to public information, neither the Open Government Act (1 PNCA §901) nor the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) (6 PNCA §101) address or mention the tobacco industry specifically. Similarly, the Code of Ethics does not prescribe activities specifically with or by the tobacco industry.
