   Compliance report and practical guide on implementing the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS in the UN workplace

   01 January 2004

   The report falls into two parts - the compliance review and an accompanying set of tools for facilitating and monitoring compliance. Part I gives an executive summary of the main findings of the review, describes the background and methodology, and discusses the direct and indirect organizational impact of HIV/AIDS including the potential vulnerability of UN staff and dependants. It compares UN personnel policies with the ILO Code of Practice, and identifies gaps and issues to be addressed. There follows a discussion of implementation and examples of good practice. The practices do not provide a formula for duplication, but help contextualize the various compliance issues raised and give examples of interpretation as well as successful action. Part I concludes with recommendations for facilitating compliance with the ILO Code. Part II provides a series of tools for implementation and monitoring compliance of UN personnel policies with the ILO Code. These consist of a checklist for setting up an HIV/AIDS committee, indicators, implementation benchmarks, core functions of focal points and collective bargaining on HIV/AIDS.

   Protecting the Rights of Workers Living with HIV/AIDS: A South African Case Study

   15 December 2003

   This paper deals with how the primary (human) rights implicated in this context, namely the right to non-discrimination, privacy and confidentiality, a healthy work environment and the continuation of the employment relationship, have been incorporated into South African legislation and in the workplace policies and practices of selected South African employers. For a number of reasons, the focus will be on the response of the South African mining industry to the epidemic. Ethical issues are raised by these policies and practices, and also pros and cons of the various approaches that have been adopted. The overall aim of the paper is to contribute to the identification and development of a set of best practices in the area of HIV/AIDS and the world of work.
