The odd thing is, even after 10 minutes I can't find the WHO resolution in question, only lots of opinion articles. I mean I don't care if you want to breastfeed, anywhere anytime, just wanting the whole story here. Were they banning alternatives or something?
This long FB post [1] provides some additional details, as well as a counterpoint to most of the press coverage I've seen (which has been critical of the US's position/behavior).
I don't know enough about the subject to know whether the author of this post (who is much more politically connected than I) is correct, but at least he lays out more facts about what happened.
Most of the articles I'd previously read had one sentence of facts and the remainder was outrage. The outrage may be deserved, but one sentence of facts doesn't justify it.
I think it's "Item 12.6" on the agendas for the WHO assembly, so you can find lots of WHO group statements/reports regarding it but I can't find the text either.

Basically, they say that this code is not a law so they don't follow it, but they have a different code, an internal one, and they stick to it.
