    Country Report on Human Rights Practices in Armenia Page 1 of 13 Armenia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Armenia, with a population of approximately 3.2 million, is a republic. The constitution provides for a popularly elected president (Robert Kocharian) and a unicameral legislature (National Assembly). A constitutional referendum in 2005 and presidential and National Assembly elections in 2003 were seriously flawed and did not meet international standards. The country has a multiparty political system. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces; members of the security forces committed a number of human rights abuses. The government's human rights record remained poor, and serious problems remained. Citizens were not able freely to change their government; authorities beat pretrial detainees; the national security service and the national police force acted with impunity; authorities engaged in arbitrary arrest and detention; prison conditions were cramped and unhealthy, although slowly improving; authorities imposed restrictions on citizens' privacy, freedom of the press, and freedom of assembly. Journalists practiced self-censorship, and the government and laws restricted religious freedom. Violence against women and spousal abuse were problems, as were trafficking in persons, discrimination against persons with disabilities, and societal harassment of homosexuals. There were reports of forced labor. There were some improvements during the year. The implementation of constitutional reforms ratified in 2005 led to some increase in judicial independence and for the first time gave citizens direct access to the Constitutional Court. Penalties for trafficking were toughened and a court for the first time imposed financial, as well as criminal, penalties on traffickers.

  • Adverse Reactions to HIV Vaccines: Medical, Ethical, and Legal Issues
    Adverse Reactions to HIV Vaccines: Medical, Ethical, and Legal Issues September 1995 OTA-BP-H-163 GPO stock #052-003-01429-7 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Adverse Reactions to HIV Vaccines: Medical, Ethical, and Legal Issues, OTA-BP-H-163 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1995). oreword IDS researchers are investigating new vaccines that would prevent infection with HIV and reduce the spread of AIDS. Some have argued that product liabil- ity concerns have discouraged investment in HIV vaccine research and devel- opment. The purpose of this OTA background paper is to describe the current state of development of HIV vaccines, and to discuss what is known about adverse reac- tions that may occur. The background paper provides an overview of ethical issues that arise in the conduct of HIV vaccine trials. The report also discusses alternatives to the current product liability system to encourage the development of HIV vaccines and to fairly compensate those who are harmed as a result of adverse reactions to the vaccine. This background paper was prepared in response to a request from the Subcommittee on Health of the House Ways and Means Committee. It is eleventh in OTA’s series of studies on HIV-related issues. The preceding papers in this series were: Do Insects Transmit AIDS? (9/87), AIDS and Health Insurance: An OTA Survey (2/88), How Effective is AIDS Education? (6/88), The Impact of AIDS on the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program (Northern California Region) (7/88), How Has Federal Research on AIDS/HIV Disease Contributed to Other Fields? (4/90), The Effectiveness of Drug Abuse Treatment: Implications for Controlling AIDS/HIV Infection (9/90), HIV in the Health Care Workplace (11/91), The CDC’s Case Definition of AIDS: Implications of the Proposed Revisions (8/92), Difficult-to-reuse Needles for the Prevention of HIV Infection Among Injecting Drug Abusers (10/92), and External Review of the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s HIV Prevention Programs (9/94).

  • HIV Infection, AIDS, and Cancer
    cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 HIV Infection, AIDS, and Cancer People with HIV infection or AIDS are at higher risk for some types of cancer than people who are not infected. Here we will discuss the risks of certain cancers in people with HIV infection or AIDS, what tests these people might need to look for cancers early, and how these cancers are generally treated. ● What Are HIV and AIDS? ● How Are HIV and AIDS Related to Cancer? ● What Can People with HIV or AIDS Do to Try to Lower Their Risk of Cancer or Find It Early? ● How Is Cancer Treated in People with HIV or AIDS? What Are HIV and AIDS? Acquired immune deficiency syndrome, better known as AIDS, is caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection. Over time, the virus attacks and destroys the body’s immune system (the system that protects the body from disease). Without a fully working immune system, a person is at risk for getting other infections that usually don’t affect healthy people. These are called opportunistic infections. People with HIV also have a greater risk of getting certain types of cancer, such as Kaposi sarcoma1, lymphoma2, and cervical cancer3, as well as other health problems. Many of these problems can threaten life. 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 More than 1 million people in the United States are now living with HIV infection, and nearly 500,000 are living with AIDS. Women account for about 1 out of 4 people infected with HIV in this country.
