Annan calls on African leaders to ensure men take responsibility for AIDS

Published in AIDS Weekly, March 17th, 2003

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has called on African leaders, from the national level on down to the communities, to ensure that men assume their full responsibilities in the battle against the spread of HIV/AIDS.

"On the question of AIDS, as I made clear, the leaders have responsibility. Obviously, each society will have to approach it in its own way, taking into account its own culture and organizations," Annan said at a press conference held at the close of the 3-day Africa-France summit in Paris. Joining the Secretary-General were Presidents Jacques Chirac of France, Thabo Mbeki of South Africa and Paul Biya of Cameroon.
