The ILO has developed a
Code of Practice in response to many requests for guidance,
through a widespread process of consultation with government,
employer and worker constituents in all regions. The Code represents
the ILO's commitment to help secure conditions of decent work and
social protection in the face of the epidemic: its implementation is
at the core of the Programme's strategic plan. The Code contains
fundamental principles for policy development and practical
guidelines from which concrete responses can be developed at
enterprise, community and national levels in the following key
areas:
- prevention of HIV/AIDS
- management and mitigation of the impact of HIV/AIDS on the world
of work
- care and support of workers infected and affected by HIV/AIDS
- elimination of stigma and discrimination on the basis of real or
perceived HIV status.
The ILO code is now recognized as an essential
companion to the UN system personnel policy.
