(Mangaia,Cook Islands) World Human Rights Day. December 10th 2008 World Human Rights Day - marks the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Pacific Islands AIDS Foundation would like to wish a happy birthday to this important document. At the same time, however, PIAF recognizes that there is a long way to go before these rights are truly Universal. This is particularly true for people with HIV, a virus that was unknown at the time the Declaration was signed, and whose sufferers continue to face inequality and discrimination. The advancement of human rights is a critical component of the response to HIV and AIDS. PIAF would like to reaffirm its commitment towards ensuring that the human rights of people living in the Pacific Islands Region are both respected and protected. Tools such as the HIV & Your Rights in the Pacific Islands booklet that was successfully launched on World AIDS Day will assist in these efforts. PIAF invites all its friends and partners to join them in celebrating the achievements this day commemorates, but also in using today to reflect on the work that still lies ahead
