I am struggling to understand the exact meaning of this phrase:
 > adherence to the principles and aim of the International Code of
Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes<
Is  this the same as thing as following the Code exactly as it is written?
http://www.iblce.org/upload/downloads/CodeOfProfessionalConduct.pdf

Similarly, in the sidebar:
>IBLCE believes this core purpose of promoting the health of infants and
children is a vitally
important social cause and is very supportive of the aims of the WHO Code.<
Being supportive of the aims is not the same as telling IBCLCs that they
have to follow the Code!

And,
>It is also important to note that IBLCE Board members and staff are
currently expected, and have been
expected for many years, to adhere to the WHO Code.<
Well great!
Why is IBLCE not saying exactly the same thing to IBCLCS in the field?  Why
are they playing word games instead?

Am I the only one who is not being fooled by this rigmarole?
If IBLCE really wanted IBCLCs to follow the Code, they would say so.
