The Stakes Could Not Be Higher
DipNote (Nov. 25): UNAIDS has demonstrated that we have a five-year window of opportunity to change the trajectory of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The UNAIDS Fast-Track approach set ambitious targets for countries to reach by 2020.

Nearly 70 years ago, at the very first meeting of UNESCO, Archibald MacLeish—who was a member of the American delegation—inscribed this mission into UNESCO’s founding charter. 'Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that defense of peace must be constructed,' he wrote. I would only make a slight addendum and add 'women' to the inscription."
