John Kerry said he canceled the Monroe Doctrine. How could he cancel it, being just the secretary? Does the US Secretary of State have the right to abolish the main military-political doctrine?

I'm not interested in what these nonentities said, I ask who gave them the right to declare the Monroe Doctrine obsolete and so on?From a Latin American perspective, the Monroe Doctrine was often seen as a license for the U.S. to intervene at will in countries' internal affairs. As 19 century Mexican strongman Porfirio Diaz put it: "Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States."
Mr. Kerry expanded upon his remarks, making clear that for the Obama administration, the old paradigm of a Washington-dominated hemisphere is passe.
"The relationship that we seek and that we have worked hard to foster is not about a United States declaration about how and when it will intervene in the affairs of other American states. It's about all of our countries viewing one another as equals, sharing responsibilities, cooperating on security issues, and adhering not to doctrine, but to the decisions that we make as partners to advance the values and the interests that we share," he said.
Well, unless you're Iraq, Ukraine, Vietnam, Syria, Afghanistan, or many others.I guess America is retiring as the interventionist nation. Let someone else do it.

As far as I understood, Kerry had no right to state this.
Maybe it is worth starting a criminal case for fraud and betrayal of the nation?
