HIV/AIDS reduces the immunity of the body towards infections and exposes the body mainly to opportunistic diseases. As a matter of fact, HIV/AIDS has no cure but antiretroviral (ARV) treatment measures and other prophylactic measures actually lengthen the lifespan of a person infected with the virus. Walker (2003, P. 4) argues that the HIV epidemic is more severe in developing countries especially in the sub-Saharan Africa where they attributed poverty to being the greatest factor. Additionally, due to the high rates of new infections experienced globally, there is a limitation ...

Introduction

In Australian jurisprudence it is widely acknowledged that treaties ratified by the government do not assume direct incorporation into Australian law. In most nations or states, treaties are generally not considered part of domestic law unless and until the legislature enact them one way or another. In Australia, the situation is no different. In absence of a legislative process a treaty cannot create rights or impose obligations on the citizenry and residents. But this scenario does not mean that prior to incorporation treaties will not have any effect on Australian law. On the contrary, the Australian High Court held that treaties ...
