Delegate: Sudan Forum: Human Rights 1 **__Issue 3: __** **__HIV/AIDS and Human Rights in developing countries __** HIV/AIDS is a serious issue facing all nations today; however this problem is mainly facing developing countries as the means to help treat or diagnose HIV is not easily accessible to the public. Sudan believes that education about contraceptives is important, however the delegate firmly believes that the manner in which this education is delivered must greatly differ between different nations and different cultures. For example, many parents in conservative areas do not want their children to be receiving sexual education and education regarding contraceptives because they feel like this is a promotion for sex before marriage. Education to the parents themselves must be provided, so that they approve of their children receiving this education. Some parents may even pull their children out of schools so that they are not exposed to sexual education because they feel that it goes against their culture and virtues. Also, another very important factor is providing less fortunate people with access to diagnosis and treatment centers so that if a person has HIV they can be cautious in terms of their sexual activity, and get treated.  Human rights violations are also a problem in many developing countries today. One of the main issues today is that human rights violations do not necessarily occur because of the government or are condoned by the government in anyway. Some war-torn nations have human rights violations occurring through individuals or non-governmental groups that the governments in no way support. Sudan believes that these nations should ask for help if that is the main issue they are facing, however in a time of conflict, saving lives and providing food for the starving is a more important issue, than that of being paid under minimum wage.
