Is there a charter or code of conduct available?
The Charter of Rights on AIDS and HIV was drafted in 1991 and developed in 1992 through a process of wide consultation by The Centre for Applied Legal Studies (University of the Witwatersrand). In November 1992, it was launched at a conference of over 300 people, and supported by many organisations and individuals. These included political and religious leaders, artists, community organisations and international leaders.
