"The goal of realizing human rights is fundamental to the global fight against AIDS. And in a world facing a terrible epidemic - one that has already spread further, faster and to more devastating effect than any other in human history - winning the fight against AIDS is a precondition for achieving rights worth enjoying."

- Dr. Peter Piot, UNAIDS Executive Director, Speech to the 59th Session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, Geneva, 19 March 2003

Expert meeting 23 - 24 March, 2004

Through a consultative process led by the Regional Office, recommendations are being developed for governments, civil society and United Nations agencies in Asia-Pacific on integrating human rights into HIV/AIDS responses in Asia-Pacific. The recommendations will emerge from extensive country-level consultations, background papers and a regional expert meeting in Bangkok on 23-24 March. The project includes extensive involvement of people vulnerable to or living with HIV/AIDS, as well as governments, experts and NGOs.
