A new and forward-looking Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS was adopted unanimously by UN Member States on 2 June at the close of the United Nations General Assembly 2006 High Level Meeting on AIDS in New York (31 May – 2 June). Following intense negotiations on the text among Member States, the final 2006 Declaration provides a strong mandate that will help move the AIDS response forward, particularly with regards to scaling up towards universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. It reaffirms the 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS and the Millennium Development Goals, in particular the goal to halt and begin to reverse the spread of AIDS by 2015.

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.

The General Assembly
Adopts the Declaration of Commitment on the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) annexed to the present resolution.

Draft resolution submitted by the President of the General Assembly

We, heads of State and Government, have gathered at United Nations Headquarters in New York from 6 to 8 September 2000, at the dawn of a new millennium, to reaffirm our faith in the Organization and its Charter as indispensable foundations of a more peaceful, prosperous and just world.

The assessment by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) of inclusive, country-driven processes for scaling up HIV prevention, treatment, care and support is submitted pursuant to General Assembly resolution 60/224. In that resolution, the Assembly requested UNAIDS and its co-sponsors to assist in facilitating such processes, with the aim of coming as close as possible to the goal of universal access to treatment by 2010 for all those who need it, including through increased resources, and working towards the elimination of stigma and discrimination, enhanced access to affordable medicines and the reduction of vulnerability of persons affected by HIV/AIDS and other health issues. The Assembly also requested that UNAIDS submit, for consideration at its sixtieth session, an assessment of these processes, based on inputs received from Member States, including an analysis of common obstacles to scaling up and recommendations for addressing such obstacles, as well as for accelerated and expanded action.
