8 June 2012 by Amy Coulterman[PDF][print]
On behalf of the NGO Delegation, thank you Madam Chair for the opportunity to speak on the AIDS, Security and Humanitarian response progress report
- The NGO Delegation welcomes this report as it is an extremely important topic. We cannot have an HIV response that does not actively address populations of humanitarian concerns.
- The report highlights some significant achievements for which we congratulate UNAIDS and the Cosponsors, in particular we would welcome more information on assessments and programmes which were developed or strengthened, notably in the key countries where HIV Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services for sex workers have improved, where communities were sensitized and peer-led networks developed.

21 March 2011 by Amy Coulterman[PDF][print]
Requests UNAIDS to strengthen AIDS responses in humanitarian emergencies and security operations including through, inter alia, the development of a strategic framework for action between the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and UNAIDS; pursuing membership or formal association between the UNAIDS Secretariat and the global-level United Nations Inter-Agency Standing Committee and through strengthened leadership in the Task Force on AIDS and Security;

9.3: AIDS, Security and Humanitarian Response
21 March 2011 by Amy Coulterman[PDF][print]
Recommends that UNAIDS address the impact of AIDS on key government cadres other than the military, including the judiciary, police and local government, and recognizes that programmes must target other institutions and groups, taking into account the demands and challenges of the particular epidemic;

21 March 2011 by Amy Coulterman[PDF][print]

9.1: AIDS, Security and Humanitarian Response
21 March 2011 by Amy Coulterman[PDF][print]
Recognizing that AIDS policies and programmes are not consistently integrated into security and humanitarian responses, calls on UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinators, UN Country Teams and UNAIDS Country Coordinators to actively address the AIDS needs of emergency-affected populations and uniformed services at country level, through promoting the systematic use of existing guidelines, through building and sustaining AIDS mainstreaming capacity within UN Country Teams and national partners, and through the cluster approach in humanitarian responses and to develop stronger linkages between humanitarian recovery and national development responses;

8 December 2010 – Several low-income countries highly affected by HIV risk being entirely or partly disqualified from the current funding round by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, warns the international medical humanitarian organisation Médecins sans Frontières (MSF). Unless a new round of funding is urgently introduced to allow rejected applications to be resubmitted, HIV-positive people will suffer severe consequences such as debilitating opportunistic infections and ultimately early death.
