A/HRC/10/46 page 13 as a guide to interpretation. Other activities included the launch, in December 2008, of an expert paper on women’s economic, social and cultural rights in post-conflict, highlighting the impact of women’s non-enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights on access to justice, as well as on the reconstruction and reparation processes. 43. Economic, social and cultural rights are inextricably linked with the spread of HIV and its impact on individuals and communities around the world, where a lack of respect for all human rights fuels the spread and exacerbates the impact of the disease. At the same time, HIV undermines progress in the realization of human rights. This link is apparent in the disproportionate incidence and spread of the disease among marginalized groups, women, children and young adults, as well as in access to medication, as highlighted in the Secretary-General’s report (A/HRC/7/30), which was presented to the seventh session of the Human Rights Council in March 2008. In 2008, OHCHR also facilitated training workshops for United Nations staff on a human rights-based approach to programming on HIV, addressing these linkages. The Office is also a member of the International Task Team on HIV-related Travel Restrictions which, together with membership from civil society, Governments, United Nations partners and persons living with HIV, developed recommendations on steps to eliminate travel bans on the entry, stay and residence of persons living with HIV in some countries. Technical advice was also provided on the integration of human rights into HIV-specific laws, especially in countries that are in the process of enacting such legislation. 44. Throughout the year, OHCHR also participated in several meetings related to the promotion and protection of economic, social and cultural rights. In doing so, the Office had the opportunity to raise awareness about and advocate for economic, social and cultural rights with a wide range of stakeholders including health practitioners, business leaders, architects, urban planners and development practitioners. For instance, at the World Medical Association General Assembly, the Deputy High Commissioner delivered a keynote speech on the right to health, highlighting the main obligations deriving from the right and the important role that health practitioners play in ensuring the effective implementation of this right. On the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the High Commissioner delivered a speech on public health and human rights before the New York Academy of Science and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in New York. C. Closer partnership with civil society and United Nations agencies 45. Throughout 2008, OHCHR strengthened partnerships with United Nations agencies and programmes and civil society in relation to economic, social and cultural rights. 46. OHCHR continued to closely collaborate with various United Nations agencies working on issues related to the promotion and protection of economic, social and cultural rights, including FAO, the World Health Organization (WHO), UN-Habitat, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and UNESCO. As a result of this close collaboration, OHCHR produced several documents for wide dissemination in collaboration with other agencies. With WHO, OHCHR published Fact Sheet 31 on the right to health. Other relevant publications prepared in 2008 and due for dissemination in early 2009 are a “Frequently Asked Questions on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights”, as well as fact sheets on the right to adequate housing, co-published with UN-Habitat, and on the right to food, co-published with FAO.
