 1 Full Compliance: Countries that have enacted legislation or other legally enforceable measures that implement the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitues in its entirety, as called upon by the World Health Assembly. 2 Partial Compliance: Countries that have enacted legislation or other legally enforceable measures encompassing some of the Code's provisions.
