Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the United States rejected the United Nations Political Declaration on Non-Communicable Diseases. “The United Nations General Assembly’s approach is misdirected,” Kennedy said, describing the global health crises posed by noncommunicable diseases. “A sound global health policy must respect families and cultures and communities,” Kennedy explained. Until the WHO undergoes reform, Kennedy said, it “cannot claim credibility or leadership.”The United States objects to the United Nations Political Declaration on Non-Communicable Diseases. In July, Kennedy, alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, rejected the WHO’s proposed International Health Regulations (IHR).
