It is my pleasure to bring you greetings on behalf of the CARICOM Secretariat and in particular the Secretary-General and indeed the entire CARICOM Family. This workshop is a very important one as it deals with one of the priority areas_ law ethics and human rights identified in the Caribbean Regional Strategic Framework of the Pan Caribbean Partnership against HIV/AIDS. Law, ethics and human rights are identified also as one of three elements in the PANCAP proposal to the Global Fund along with care and treatment and prevention.
