Model legislation can be a useful tool for fighting HIV/AIDS, but only if it is based on sound human rights principles. In 2004, AWARE-HIV/AIDS prepared a model law on HIV for use in Western Africa. Several countries in the region have already drafted national laws based on the model law. In this article, Richard Pearshouse reviews some of the key provisions in the model law, identifying a number of human rights concerns that should be addressed before such legislation should be considered as a model to be implemented by national legislatures.
示范立法可以成为抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病的有用工具，但前提是它要基于健全的人权原则。2004年，“艾滋病毒/艾滋病意识组织”编写了一部适用于西非的艾滋病毒示范法。该地区的几个国家已经根据这部示范法起草了国家法律。在本文中，理查德·皮尔斯豪斯审视了示范法的一些关键条款，指出了在将此类立法视为可供国家立法机构实施的示范之前应解决的一些人权问题。
