UN chief Ban Ki-moon has called for an end to discrimination against people carrying the AIDS virus, including travel restrictions for people living with HIV.
The UN chief made the remarks at the opening of a two-day, high-level meeting in the General Assembly on UN targets set in 2001 to combat the disease worldwide. Ban said that 60 years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights it was shocking that there should still be discrimination against those at high risk or stigma attached to individuals living with HIV.
