The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network (on behalf of a number of local and international durg policy organizations) made a recent submission to the UN Human Rights Council on the state of human rights and HIV in Kazakhstan.
The report "describes several key human rights priorities and provides recommendations for Kazakhstan’s Government to better respect, protect and fulfill human rights, consistent with its international obligations, in areas of particular relevance to an effective response to HIV."
This is an excellent read for anyone interested in the protection of human rights in the context of HIV public health activities. It is critical that project implementers be aware of potential and existing human rights violations and, where possible, advocate for policies that protect the human rights of people living with HIV and at high risk of HIV infection.
