A/RES/60/1
(n) To acknowledge the invaluable role of the Global Environment Facility
in facilitating cooperation with developing countries; we look forward to a
successful replenishment this year along with the successful conclusion of all
outstanding commitments from the third replenishment;
(o) To note that cessation of the transport of radioactive materials through
the regions of small island developing States is an ultimate desired goal of small
island developing States and some other countries and recognize the right of
freedom of navigation in accordance with international law. States should maintain
dialogue and consultation, in particular under the aegis of the International Atomic
Energy Agency and the International Maritime Organization, with the aim of
improved mutual understanding, confidence-building and enhanced communication
in relation to the safe maritime transport of radioactive materials. States involved in
the transport of such materials are urged to continue to engage in dialogue with
small island developing States and other States to address their concerns. These
concerns include the further development and strengthening, within the appropriate
forums, of international regulatory regimes to enhance safety, disclosure, liability,
security and compensation in relation to such transport.
HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other health issues
57. We recognize that HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other infectious
diseases pose severe risks for the entire world and serious challenges to the
achievement of development goals. We acknowledge the substantial efforts and
financial contributions made by the international community, while recognizing that
these diseases and other emerging health challenges require a sustained international
response. To this end, we commit ourselves to:
(a) Increasing investment, building on existing mechanisms and through
partnership, to improve health systems in developing countries and those with
economies in transition with the aim of providing sufficient health workers,
infrastructure, management systems and supplies to achieve the health-related
Millennium Development Goals by 2015;
(b) Implementing measures to increase the capacity of adults and adolescents
to protect themselves from the risk of HIV infection;
(c) Fully implementing all commitments established by the Declaration of
Commitment on HIV/AIDS 20 through stronger leadership, the scaling up of a
comprehensive response to achieve broad multisectoral coverage for prevention,
care, treatment and support, the mobilization of additional resources from national,
bilateral, multilateral and private sources and the substantial funding of the Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria as well as of the HIV/AIDS
component of the work programmes of the United Nations system agencies and
programmes engaged in the fight against HIV/AIDS;
(d) Developing and implementing a package for HIV prevention, treatment
and care with the aim of coming as close as possible to the goal of universal access
to treatment by 2010 for all those who need it, including through increased
resources, and working towards the elimination of stigma and discrimination,
