UNITED NATIONS (AN) — The U.N. General Assembly urged all nations on Monday to quickly join forces in ensuring that everyone will have access to medical supplies, drugs, future vaccines and testing to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The resolution, drafted by Mexico and co-sponsored by 170 other countries, was unanimously approved through a "silence procedure" by the U.N.'s main deliberative and policymaking body. It asked U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres and the World Health Organization to propose ways of accomplishing those goals, particularly in developing nations.
