That law is not contradicting the WHO, it’s just setting a stricter standard. It would be contradicting if the WHO said masks made things worse and the governments forced people to wear them anyway, endangering public health against the advice of the WHO. That’s not the case.

If the WHO said 'drinking bleach not recommended', would a video recommending drinking bleach merely be setting a stricter standard?

Your argument seems to rely on the fact that we know the WHOs recommendation on masks is wrong.
