A/HRC/4/110 page 14 rights of women living with HIV and AIDS in selected regions of the Russian Federation. The Youth Initiative on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights, launched by UNESCO and the UNAIDS Secretariat, aims to empower young people (student organizations, youth NGOs, peer educators) to take action in their communities against the spread of HIV and the stigma and discrimination related to it. The initiative employs a participatory approach and brings together training and action, focusing on youth, human rights, HIV and AIDS. Working on the intersection between HIV and racism, UNESCO’s integrated strategy to combat racism, discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance also promotes action to counter HIV-related stigma and discrimination which build upon and reinforce other existing forms of discrimination related to sexuality, gender, race and poverty. In respect of IDU, UNESCO believes that unless we address the educational, sociocultural and economic needs of people who are vulnerable to drug use, then prevention and treatment programmes have limited impact on the reduction of risk behaviours. UNESCO supports a number of programmes on school health and drug-misuse awareness, as well as programmes for out-of-school youth, utilizing non-formal education to overcome vulnerability to HIV infection and reduce the harm related to drug misuse. Similarly, MSM are one of the most affected groups in the global HIV epidemic, and in several countries HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates among MSM continue to rise. UNESCO has actively worked on MSM and HIV and AIDS in South-East Asia, where interventions have included telephone hotlines; peer education projects; Internet-based programmes; a project for male bar-based sex workers; a project encouraging the use of condoms in male saunas; the creation of national workshops on MSM; and a regional training workshop for young MSM peer educators. 39. The World Food Programme (WFP) raised the issue of the link between human rights, HIV/AIDS and food security. WFP noted evidence that poor households that are affected by HIV and AIDS are more likely to have difficulty maintaining their food security. The consequent vulnerability to malnutrition exacerbates the negative effects of HIV and AIDS, leading to a further deterioration in nutritional status. Family members may be forced to adopt high-risk behaviours just to put food on the table. WFP stressed the need for the Human Rights Council to include in its consideration of human rights and HIV/AIDS a recognition that adequate food and good nutrition are among the most immediate and critical needs of people living with HIV. 40. The World Trade Organization (WTO) reported that it does not have any specific activity or programme to deal with HIV-related human rights of women, children and vulnerable groups. WTO drew attention to paragraph 6 of the Doha Declaration on the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement and Public Health, which allows for compulsory licences to be issued in certain circumstances. In light of the difficulties presented by this scheme for countries with insufficient or no manufacturing capacity in the pharmaceutical sector, and following the subsequent decision of the WTO General Council on implementation of that provision, the General Council adopted a Protocol amending the TRIPS Agreement in December 2005, which has been submitted to members of the Organization for acceptance by 1 December 2007.
