Unhealthy foods, non-communicable diseases and the right to health 2014, para. 59
Paragraph
Paragraph text
In addition, States should extend their assistance to low- and middle-income countries, which, due to their limited resources, may be unable to attain required nutrition standards, leading to an increased burden of NCDs. In such cases, States should extend their assistance through technology transfer, capacity-building and, where necessary, by providing monetary support (A/RES/66/2). This will help ensure that States lacking sufficient expertise develop and sustain the requisite technology to take preventive actions against NCDs.
