Mexico: general Recommendation issued on school-based discrimination against HIV-positive children.
In September 2004, Mexico's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) issued a General Recommendation responding to various discriminatory practices by federal and local education officials against children living with HIV/AIDS. The Recommendation reflects the general guidance provided by the Committee on the Rights of the Child in its 2003 General Comments on HIV/AIDS and the Rights of the Child, and Adolescent Health.
