| HIV-related travel restrictions -
ICASO welcomes President Obama’s announcement of the end to the US government policy to restrict entry to people living with HIV without a special waiver, which has been in place since 1987. The change will take effect in early 2010. As a member of the International Task Team on HIV-related travel restrictions, ICASO led the process for a civil society sign-on letter submitted to UN member states in 2008, calling for the removal of restrictions and for no further AIDS-related meetings to be held in countries that have such restrictions. The letter was signed by over 400 organizations. The immediate effect was felt at the United Nations High-level meeting, where the president of El Salvador and the UN Secretary General made a public appeals for the removal of the restrictions in countries such as the US and China.

A new
publication – Verdict
on a Virus: Public Health, Human Rights and Criminal Law – shows
that a simplistic ‘law-and-order’ response
to HIV and the way in which individual court cases are reported
in the media only serve to intensify a climate of denial, secrecy
and fear. This creates a fertile breeding ground for the continued
and rapid spread of HIV.
Verdict on a Virus is a joint
publication of IPPF, ICW and GNP+ |
