Compromised Intentions

In this report, Human Rights Watch examines how the declaration from the United Nations High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS addresses such critical issues as women’s and children’s rights, abuses faced by socially marginalized populations, and access to treatment. The report finds that while the declaration mentions human rights, it falls short of committing governments to aggressively responding to rights abuses and to implementing measures to guarantee the rights of socially marginalized and vulnerable populations.
