Description: An advocacy brief produced by U.S. civil society for the UNGASS review on HIV/AIDS. In June 2001, representatives from 189 member states met during the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on HIV/AIDS and signed the Declaration of Commitment on HIV and AIDS, a monumental international pledge to substantially increase both resources and attention to fighting HIV/AIDS. This paper evaluates how the United States has fulfilled its commitment as a donor. A separate paper, published by Public Health Watch, evaluates the progress made by the U.S. to fulfill its commitments domestically.
