human rights in the context of HIV are set out below.

Recommended Guidelines for implementation by States in order to promote and protect human rights in the context of HIV are set out below. These Guidelines are firmly anchored within a framework of existing international human rights norms and are based on many years of experience in identifying those strategies that have proven successful in addressing HIV and AIDS. The normative principles together with practical strategies provide the evidence and ideas for States to reorient and redesign their policies and programmes to ensure respect for HIV-related rights and to be most effective in addressing the epidemic. States should provide adequate political leadership and financial resources to enable implementation of these strategies.
11। The Guidelines focus on activities by States in view of their obligations under international and regional human rights instruments. This is not to deny, however, the responsibilities of other key actors, such as the private sector, including professional groups such as health-care workers, the media, and religious communities. These groups also have responsibilities not to engage in discrimination and to implement protective and ethical policies and practices.
Formation of an interministerial committee to ensure integrated development and high-level coordination of individual ministerial national action plans and to monitor and implement the additional HIV strategies, as set out below. In federal systems, an intergovernmental committee should also be established with provincial/state, as well as national representation. Each ministry should ensure that HIV and human rights are integrated into all its relevant plans and activities, including:
(i) Education;
(ii) Law and justice, including police and corrective services;
(iii) Science and research;
(iv) Employment and public service;
(v) Welfare, social security and housing;
(vi) Immigration, indigenous populations, foreign affairs and development cooperation;
Ongoing interaction of government branches with United Nations Theme Groups on HIV/AIDS and other concerned international and bilateral actors to ensure that governmental responses to the HIV epidemic will continue to make the best use of assistance available from the international community. Such interaction should, inter alia, reinforce cooperation and assistance to areas related to HIV and human rights.
