Earth Summit AIDS Briefing Paper

HIVAN Media Office
"With aspects of health, education, equity, poverty elimination and human rights agreed as international goals, any attempt to tackle the HIV/AIDS epidemic will need to put these aspirations at its core in the struggle to give an adequate level of support for all those living with and affected by the disease. AIDS is already impacting on millions of lives, but the full death toll and impact of the disease is only likely to reveal itself over the next five to ten years. The epidemic poses a very real and immediate global challenge and what is needed now is a concerted and co-ordinated international response." Quoted from the 2002 Earth Summit's HIV/AIDS Briefing Paper, entitled "AIDS - The Undeclared War".

"We live on one planet, connected in a delicate, intricate web of ecological, social, economic and cultural relationships that shape our lives. Achieving sustainable development will require greater responsibility - for the ecosystems on which all life depends, for each other as a single human community, and for the generations that will follow our own." Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, October 2001, speaking about the upcoming World Summit on Sustainable Development ("Earth Summit")to be held in Johannesburg in August this year.
