To be fair, the WHO document states that as being the policy of certain places/countries, not as being their personal policy. They also encourage more concrete consent practices be put in place, such as written consent.
The WHO= still bad, and the idea of implied consent=still dangerous. But, I do think it’s important to distinguish that this particular document seems to have the purpose of informing parents of the practices used by different countries, rather than dictate what practice be used.
