  • No Valley Without Shadows MSF and the Fight for Affordable Arvs in South Africa
    In the 1990s, even as the country celebrated its freedom from apartheid, South Africa descended into a chilling new crisis: an incurable disease was spreading so fast it soon became the fearsome stuff of myth and legend. The fight against HIV/AIDS in South Africa was a war fought on many fronts: against fear and ignorance so powerful it could lead to murder; against profiteering pharmaceutical companies whose patents safeguarded revenues at the cost of patients’ lives; and, most shockingly, against the South African government, which quickly emerged as the world leader in AIDS denialism. To take its place in this battle, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders would have to overcome internal resistance, seemingly impossible financial barriers, multiple lawsuits, and the shame and terror of the very people they were trying to help. How could a coalition of activists, doctors, and patients beat the odds to bring about startling innovations in treatment protocols, end the pharmaceutical companies’ legal challenges to low-cost drugs, and overturn an official policy of denial that originated in the nation’s highest political offices? This is the story. No Valley Without Shadows MSF and the Fight for Affordable ARVs in South Africa Written by Marta Darder, Liz McGregor, Carol Devine and other contributors. © 2014 Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders, Rue Dupré 94, 1090 Brussels No Valley Without Shadows is a publication by Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF). The texts in this publication are based on interviews with members of MSF and others who participated in the fight for affordable ARVs in South Africa.

Lau University of North Carolina School of Law, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://scholarship.law.unc.edu/faculty_publications Part of the Law Commons Publication: Tulane Law Review This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Faculty Scholarship at Carolina Law Scholarship Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in Faculty Publications by an authorized administrator of Carolina Law Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Comparative Perspectives on Strategic Remedial Delays Holning Lau* In controversial constitutional cases, courts sometimes grant the government an extended period of time to correct rights violations—what I call “remedial grace periods”— hoping that the postponed implementation of change will temper backlash. The most well- known example of such remedial delay followed the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education II. This Article spotlights a more recent remedial grace period. In Minister of Home Affairs v. Fourie, South Africa’s highest court ruled that depriving same-sex couples of marriage was unconstitutional. It could have implemented same-sex marriage immediately by reading it into the law, but it chose not to. Instead, it sought to defuse controversy by giving Parliament time to remedy the situation legislatively. Fourie’s grace period complicates prevailing wisdom about grace periods that derives from Brown II. Part I of this Article provides background by comparing remedial grace periods to other judicial delay tactics.

  • Human Rights and the HIV/AIDS Pandemic
    Novogrodsky: The Duty of Treatment: Human Rights and the HIV/AIDS Pandemic Article The Duty of Treatment: Human Rights and the HIV/AIDS Pandemic Noah Novogrodsky t This Article argues that the treatment of HIV and AIDS is spawning a juridical, advocacy, and enforcement revolution. The intersection of AIDS and human rights was once characterized almost exclusively by anti-discrimination and destigmatization efforts. Today, human rights advocates are demanding life-saving treatment and convincing courts and legislatures to make states payfor it. Using a comparative Constitutional law methodology that places domestic courts at the center of the struggle for HIV treatment, this Article shows how the provision of AIDS medications is refraining the right to health and the implementation of socio-economic rights. First, it locates an emerging right to treatment in the global case law and authoritativedecisions of treaty bodies. Second, it argues that the right to treatment has transformed rights discourse, strengthened the conceptual interdependence and indivisibility of all human rights and refrained the role of the judiciary. Third, it contends t Senior Scholar, O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, Georgetown University Law Center, and Visiting Professor, University of Connecticut School of Law, [email protected].

Censorship had been relaxed, with the result that "Notorious magazines, which no chief of police of former times would have permitted, were sold openly on the Potzdamer Platz". Having already deplored the open display of these lmnamed publications on the streets, Shltterheim could not resist going into the "dubious resorts" to see if they were any less shocking: "An acquaintance took me into a dance-hall where painted men were dancing dressed in women's clothes. I was refused admission to another resort because it was only open to women, half of whom were dressed as men" (STUTIERHEIM, 1939, p.
