Multiple countries worldwide, including China, Vietnam and Cambodia are reviewing their regulatory frameworks for advertising. There is no global one-size-fits-all approach to advertising standards; every country will craft a regulatory framework according to domestic legal and cultural specificities. But the core components for effective and responsible advertising standards remain the same.
This toolkit makes the case for advertising self-regulation, identifying the core building blocks drawing on case studies from Brazil, India and the Philippines.
