Several high-profile long-term review processes have occurred in recent months, reports the October edition of the Justice Africa/GAIN briefing. "The United Nations General Assembly made a four-year review of the Declaration of Commitment (DoC) made at the Special Session on HIV/AIDS (UNGASS) in June 2001. UNGASS was proposed by several groups, notably the International Council of AIDS Services Association (ICASA), to encourage progress on the Millennium Goal of halting and starting to reverse the AIDS epidemic by 2015. The news is that since 2001, there has been regress on this goal, with larger numbers of people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, and with little indication that global growth will have slowed and declined in ten years."
