and the Political Declarations on HIV/AIDS adopted at the high-level meetings of
the General Assembly in 2006 2 and 2011, 3
Recalling the HIV/AIDS-related goals and commitments contained in the

fragile and reversible without a sustained commitment and action and that these
time-bound goals will expire by the end of 2015,
Recognizing that AIDS remains an urgent global health and development
challenge, and recognizing also the need to address persistent challenges and gaps in
the fight against HIV/AIDS,
Welcoming the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 8 and
the Addis Ababa Action Agenda of the Third International Conference on Financing
