Description
Introduction Since first detected in 1981 HIV/AIDS has infected 65 million people worldwide and killed more than 25 million. Some 7,400 people are infected every day and in the decades ahead HIV/AIDS is expected to kill ten times more people than conflict (UNAIDS 2009). At the UN General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS (UNGASS) in 2001 HIV/AIDS was declared a development issue of the highest priority and considered as a threat to international security. In passing Resolution 1308 the Security Council recognised that the HIV/AIDS pandemic is exacerbated by conditions of violence and instability and stressed that, if unchecked, it may pose a risk to stability and security.
