U.N. Special Session on HIV/AIDS Draft Declaration

Diplomats from more than 100 countries preparing a draft declaration on HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention standards for approval at the
June 25-27 U.N. General Assembly special session are struggling to agree on acceptable language, the AP/Chicago Sun-Times reports. According to the AP/Sun-Times, diplomats have engaged in "intensely angry, frustrating and emotional" meetings since May in an attempt to find a consensus on the 19-page draft document that is "acceptable to all 189 U.N. member countries".
