Human Rights Watch Letter to the Trade Minister of Switzerland

The WTO ministerial meeting in Doha, Qatar provides an ideal occasion for Switzerland to make a new commitment to multilateral and bilateral trade policy consistent with concern for the global crisis of HIV/AIDS. We are writing to urge your leadership toward a commitment from the Swiss government to allowing all countries suffering from HIV/AIDS' devastation to make full use of TRIPS exceptions in their pursuit of access to affordable anti-AIDS drugs for their populations.
