3. SOUNDBITE (English) Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“None of this could have happened without the leadership of people living with HIV, and civil society partners on the ground around the world. They believed that more equitable treatment and access was possible, and they made sure that we responded. They broke the silence and shone a light on discrimination, intolerance and stigma. They brought passion to their fight, and that passion will make the end of AIDS a reality.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Michel Sidibé, Executive Director, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS):
“One by one, we are breaking the bones of stigma, discrimination, prejudice and exclusion. We should work to ensure that no one – I said no one – is left behind because of who they are or who they love. This includes prisoners, migrant populations, people with disabilities, men having sex with men, people who use drugs, sex workers, (and) transgender. The doors of the UN should be open to all.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Michel Sidibé, Executive Director, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS):
“West Africa and Central Africa, unfortunately is left behind. We need to make sure that the political leaders will mobilize energy in West Africa and Central Africa to triple the initiation rate within 3 years.”
8. Wide shot, delegates
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Ndaba Mandela, Activist engaged in the response to HIV / AIDS:
“I am here today to ask you to continue the legacy of Nelson Mandela - a legacy of unity and a legacy of leadership. I am here to ask you to ensure that all 37 million people living with HIV today can access immediate antiretroviral treatment and live full, healthy lives while they wait for a cure. 90-90-90 by 2020 should be the milestone for every country as the world moves to end AIDS, once and for all.”

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Michel Sidibé, Executive Director, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS):
“Rarely can I say that we move from despair to hope. You have to remember that a few years back, millions of people were not having hope. I was traveling in Africa, in different parts of the continent and was seeing just hospitals full of people dying. Today we managed to put 17 million people on treatment.

“We managed also to demonstrate that we can have a generation free of HIV. People were just thinking that we’re dreaming. After Cuba we have Thailand; we have certainly Belarus; there is Armenia who have been certified yesterday that they eliminated the transmission from mother to child. But we have 80 countries who have less than 50 babies born every year. We will be able to say soon that we have a generation free of HIV.”

STORYLINE
The United Nations (UN) General Assembly adopted a political declaration aimed at accelerating the fight against HIV and ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
Speaking to the Assembly at the opening of the high-level meeting, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the world had already achieved the 6th millennium Development Goal by reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS, reducing new infections by 35 percent and AIDS-related deaths by 43 percent. He said this progress “could not have happened with the leadership of people living with HIV”, noting that the passion they brought to their fight “will make the end of AIDS a reality.”
Executive Director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) Michel Sidibé said 8.8 million deaths have been averted but those gains are fragile. Sidibé said women are being raped, exploited, and infected at the same rate as of 20 years ago. He said stigma and discrimination continue to push people to the shadows and prevents them from accessing live saving services. He said, “We should work to ensure that no one – I said no one – is left behind because of who they are or who they love.”
Sidibé said Africa for the first time has more people being treated than newly infected, however West and Central Africa are “left behind”. He said political leaders in those regions must mobilize their energy to triple the initiation rate within 3 years.
The Assembly also listened to late South African leader Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Ndaba who told delegates he lost both his parents to AIDS. Ndaba Mandela said despite family fears of stigma, his grandfather was not afraid of the truth and the result was the beginning of a national dialogue on AIDS in South Africa and global action around the world.
The Political Declaration, which was adopted by consensus, reaffirmed Member States’ commitment to end the aids epidemic by 2030 while protecting the rights and dignity of all people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS. It also called for urgent action over the next five years to ensure that no one is left behind in the AIDS response.
