United Nations Program on HIV / AIDS

United Nations Program on HIV / AIDS

The Universal Postal Union and the Joint United Nations Program on HIV / AIDS together with the International Labor Organization and UNI Global have launched a global preventive awareness campaign. Post offices in participating countries will display HIV prevention information that will reach the general public and postal workers.

Through a series of goals, resolutions and declarations adopted by UN member states, the world has a set of commitments, actions and goals to halt and reverse the spread of HIV and expand towards universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services.

Political Declaration on HIV / AIDS (2006)
In 2006, a Political Declaration on HIV / AIDS was adopted unanimously by UN Member States at the conclusion of the 2006 UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AIDS. It provides a strong mandate to help advance the AIDS response, while expanding comprehensive access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. It also reaffirms the 2001 Declaration of Commitment and the Millennium Development Goals, in particular the goal of stopping the spread of AIDS and starting to reverse it by the year 2015.

Declaration of Commitment on HIV / AIDS (2001)
In 2001 Heads of State and Government representatives of 189 countries met for the first special session of the United Nations General Assembly on HIV / AIDS. They unanimously adopted the Declaration of Commitment on HIV / AIDS, recognizing that the AIDS epidemic constitutes "a global emergency and one of the formidable challenges facing human life and dignity". The Declaration of Commitment covers ten priorities, from prevention to treatment to financing.

Millennium Development Goals (2000)
The eight Millennium Development Goals - ranging from reducing extreme poverty in half to halting the spread of HIV and providing universal primary education by the target date of 2015 - constitute a blueprint agreed upon by all countries of the world and all the world's leading development institutions.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1308 (2000)
In January 2000, the United Nations Security Council made history when it first discussed a health issue - AIDS. With the subsequent adoption of Resolution 1308, it highlighted the potential increasing impact of AIDS on social instability and emergency situations and the potentially devastating impact of HIV on the health of international peacekeepers.
