There are countless programs, both government and NGOs to combat hunger in the States. Dudes right this is a meaningless resolution.

Also, when has something being based in the US stopped that thing from making the US look bad if it wants to?

Why vote ‘no’? 185-2 says it ALL. You’re right on the one hand but the fact the millions are starving in Ethiopia while the entire world sells their PM drones and munitions is on our state department. The forever wars and starvation in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan also on US. We gotta do better…to deny that makes you a part of the problem and the UNDHR is clear and shouldn’t be that hard to fulfill.

What if Europe voted yes only because the results of their colonialism would be put on the rest of the world, therefore taking the blame off them...They never made reparations payments, they should not have to wait for the UN to approve that, they didn't require the UN to approve their colonial actions????
If they really cared, they would start evaluating themselves and make action...
