 UNAIDS and SARC law signed a historic MOU in Bangkok relating to legal issues connected with HIV and AIDS affected community. MOU was signed by Hamid Batra and Steve Krause. Speaking to the media Hemant Batra said this MOU is special, as for the first time an association of the legal communities of the South Asian countries is partnering with a UN body. Both Steve Krause regional director and Aids and Hemant Batra secretary-general SARC law expressed their optimism and jointly working towards the objectives of UNAIDS in the South Asian region. South Asian association for regional cooperation in law is an association of the legal communities of the South Asian countries comprising judges, lawyers, academicians, law teachers and others. SARC law is duly registered with the SARC secretariat at Kathmandu and awarded the status of a regional apex body of SARC. It owes its origin to the desire of the legal community to establish an association within the SARC region to disseminate information and to promote an understanding of the concerns for development.
