Motion Text

That this House notes that in 2003 the United Kingdom did not submit, as required, a progress report on its compliance with the UN Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS adopted in June 2001 by all UN Member States as a commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS within their own countries and which sets out targets on key HIV-related issues, including prevention, treatment, and human rights, to be assessed periodically; further notes that all countries are required to submit another progress report at the review of the UN Declaration of Commitment in 2006; further notes that the Department of Health is responsible for drafting and submitting the progress report; and calls on the Government to submit a progress report as required and to make the report a public document.
