Personally, I question the value of campaigns that rely on form letters and 
information that appears sensational and short on facts.

Inundating UNICEF with accusations that they have withdrawn support for the 
WHO Code *could* be quite wrong. (For WBW Anne Veneman said: >>
   "UNICEF strives to create an environment that enables the best choices in 
infant and young child feeding practices by supporting the breastfeeding and 
complementary feeding efforts of partner countries and our NGO colleagues at 
three levels: improving national regulation and oversight, enhancing the 
knowledge and skills of health personnel, and increasing success in the 
community by providing support for each new mother to make the best choices 
in feeding her children".


They are dismantling/restructuring the position of the legal advisor based 
in NY, but what else do we really know for fact?

I have a copy of the letter sent by Baby Milk Action to Anne Veneman on 5 
September, but it's quite long and I can't send an attachment to the list.

If you'd like a copy please email me off list over the next few days, with 
"BMA letter" in the subject line !

I have asked BMA if they could possibly put this issue, and the letter on 
the BMA website
