Journal Captures Legacy of Human Rights at AIDS 2010

Date:
October 15, 2010

The October 2010 issue of the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network’s flagship publication, the HIV/AIDS Policy and Law Review, contains a special section on human rights at the 2010 International AIDS Conference, prepared with partial support from the Open Society Public Health Program. The 2010 conference marked a watershed for human rights responses to HIV, as illustrated by the conference theme (“Rights Here. Right Now”) and the thousands-strong International Human Rights March and Rally.

This issue of the HIV/AIDS Policy and Law Review contains short articles on a range of HIV and human rights subjects covered at the conference, including drug policy and harm reduction, the rights of women and girls, HIV testing, and criminalization of HIV transmission. 

The issue is available at http://www.aidslaw.ca/publications/publicationsdocEN.php?ref=1138.
