The United States requests that the Panel reject Indonesia's claims in their entirety.[6]
FINDINGS
Introduction
This dispute concerns Section 907（a）（1）（A）, a tobacco-control measure adopted by the United States for reasons of public health. Cigarettes are inherently harmful to human health, as recognized by the WHO, the scientific community and both parties to this dispute.
At the outset, this Panel would like to emphasize that measures to protect public health are of the utmost importance, and that the WTO Agreements fully recognize and respect the sovereign right of Members to regulate in response to legitimate public health concerns.
