An Analysis of Submissions to a Consultation on a Draft WHO Tool” 394 397 4156 10.34172/ijhpm.2021.148 EN Elisa Chilet-Rosell Department of Public Health, Universidad Miguel Hernández, Alicante, Spain 0000-0002-9091-7255 Ildefonso Hernandez-Aguado Department of Public Health, Universidad Miguel Hernández, Alicante, Spain CIBER de Epidemiología y Salud Pública (CIBERESP), Madrid, Spain 0000-0003-1911-5759 Journal Article 2021 08 31 <span class="fontstyle0">Ralston et al offer us an interesting analysis of the consultation process of World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) “Draft approach on the prevention and management of conflicts of interests in the policy development and implementation of nutrition programs at country level,” in which it shows us how the industry tries to frame the discussion in individual conflicts of interest, avoiding structural conflicts of interest. We must not forget other issues of importance in policymaking, such as the imbalance of power between different actors and the strategies of undue influence used by food and beverage corporations. It is essential to develop regulatory-based tools and procedures that embody ethics and good governance and that can be applied systematically and routinely to prevent corporate influence in health policymaking. A global observatory of corporate practices would also be needed to recommend to governments efficient actions to avoid corporate capture of their policies.</span> https://www.ijhpm.com/article_4156_bba6bca05fecde04c682328e44b974b7.pdf
