The United States on Sept. 25 objected to a U.N. declaration on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. informed the assembly considering the declaration.
“We cannot defeat the epidemic alone, but the U.N.’s approach is misdirected,” Kennedy said in New York City. “It attempts both too little and too much. It exceeds the U.N.’s proper role while ignoring the most pressing health issues, and that’s why the United States will reject it.”
