I would say that whether or not the Palermo protocol is legitimate under the UN is under question, and that the WHO, the World Bank, UNHCR, UNICEF, UNESCO, the ILO, and all of these parts of the UN have signed on to decriminalize and remove laws that criminalize people who are vulnerable to HIV/AIDS.
We as a country have spent over $2 billion at UNAIDS. We have signed on to fight AIDS across the planet. Frankly, I think the Palermo protocol, which is based out of the U.S., really has no place in this, and if it were looked at reasonably, it would not be adopted again. I think that protocol needs to be revisited and that it is not helpful on any level.
