org Human Rights Watch Press releaseJuly 1, 2009 Compulsory HIV testing, sterilization of disabled
violate rights New York The Rwandan Parliament should remove provisions in a draft lawthat would mandate compulsory HIV testing and require the sterilization ofall individuals with intellectual disabilities, Human Rights Watch saidtoday. The organization said that the provisions, in a reproductive healthbill, are deeply flawed and violate the government's obligations to upholdand protect human rights. "Compulsory HIV testing and forced sterilization are counterproductive tothe Rwandan government's goal of improved reproductive health," said JoeAmon, health and human rights director at Human Rights Watch. "Provisions inthe current bill that increase stigma, rely on coercion, and denyindividuals their reproductive rights should be removed. " Human Rights Watch said that the reproductive health bill, drafted by theparliamentary committee whose duties include promoting social welfare,contains three particularly troublesome provisions related to HIV/AIDStesting. First it provides that all individuals who plan to marry mustundergo HIV testing and provide a certificate beforehand. Second, marriedindividuals are required to be tested for HIV/AIDS upon the request of theirspouses. Third, if a physician finds it "necessary" for a child or anincapacitated person to be tested for HIV/AIDS, he or she may conduct thetest without seeking consent and may show the result to the parent,guardian, or care provider. Ensuring that all HIV testing is confidential, conducted with informedconsent, and accompanied by counseling is widely recognized as integral toeffective HIV prevention and treatment strategies. Mandatory HIV testing anddisclosure have been condemned by the Joint United Nations Programme onHIV/AIDS, the World Health Organization, and the UN's Office of the HighCommissioner of Human Rights as violations of the right to privacy andcounterproductive to effective HIV/AIDS control. These organizations have also stated that mandatory testing and compulsorydisclosure can put women at increased risk of abuse and undermine publictrust in the health care system.

home security alarm
Today we will explain the difference between different types of
security equipment and show you how to select the most suitable product. Checking and comparing the prices of both of these items will help you make the right decision. Generally hardwired systems take a lot of time to install and they require various components to get the job done. As far as wireless security products are concerned, the pricing structure is pretty low. Plus, there is the maintenance issue. Whether you are looking for burglar alarm systems, or any other equipment, you would require annual maintenance operations to maintain your hardwired security systems in an optimum condition. With time these maintenance requirements increase and turn out to be a frequent concern for homeowners. On the other hand, wireless items don’t require any maintenance, which is a
great plus. So, now that we know the difference between two specific types of security equipment, we should move towards finding out how to get the best product. Individuals have started to pay more attention to the existing security systems offered on the market and their importance. People need to feel safe and secure while they are in their residence or office.
