If you look at Kerry's quote in context, it's very clear that

a) he used "global" in the sense of "comprehensive", not "worldwide".
(You can look it up in a dictionary if you need to).


b) He said quite explicitly, and I quote:


"I will never cede America's security to any institution or any other
country".

which makes your statement above about the UN either a befuddled mistake
or a partisan lie.
