SUBMISSION TO THE OFFICE OF THE UN HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS:<\/h1>\n

HIV, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND DRUG POLICY IN CANADA<\/h1>\n

In 2021, the Human Rights Council adopted a resolution on \u201cHuman Rights in the context of HIV and AIDS\u201d which calls on States to \u201cend all inequalities and human rights violations and abuses faced by persons living with, at risk of or affected by HIV\u201d and to \u201ctake all steps necessary to ensure respect for and the protection and fulfilment of all human rights and to prevent and eliminate stigma, discrimination, violence and abuse in the context of HIV as an essential part of efforts to achieve the goal of universal access to HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment, care and support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following this resolution, the High Commissioner for Human Rights is reporting on actions taken and recommending actions to be intensified or initiated to meet human rights targets, and the HIV Legal Network, together with the Centre on Drug Policy Evaluation (CDPE), made a submission to inform this report, focusing on HIV, human rights, and drug policy in Canada.<\/p>\n
