Resolutions of the WHA Relevant to Infant and Young Child Feeding amending
the
WHO International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes  

When the International Code was adopted by the World Health Assembly in 1981 (see Resolution WHA34.22) it was recognised that it may require clarification or even revision. Accordingly Resolutions have been adopted every 2 years since 1982. The subsequent Resolutions have equal status to the International Code and close many of the loopholes exploited by the baby food industry.
