September 2016, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York
held a dedicated meeting to muster strong political commitment for an
effective global response to the problem of antimicrobial resistance
(AMR). As a result, a High-Level Political Declaration on Antimicrobial
Resistance was adopted.</p>
<p style="margin:1em 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman",Times,Baskerville,Georgia,serif;font-size:15px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">The
High-Level Political Declaration reaffirms that the blueprint for
tackling AMR is the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Strategy and
Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance, its five objectives, and the
principles for effective national action plans: a one-health approach,
prevention first, and access.</p>

policy brief is a synthesis of the main elements of the Declaration
that add value to the comprehensive WHO Global Strategy and Action Plan
on AMR (GAP).</p>
