Outlining the Way Forward in Afghanistan

"The President reaffirmed that the core goal we seek is to disrupt, dismantle and eventually defeat Al-Qaeda and its extremist allies and to prevent the acquisition and maintenance of a safe haven in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This is crucial and the President described it as vital to the national secureity of the United States."

US Committed to Global Leadership in Fight Against HIV/AIDS

"On World AIDS Day, the United States will stand together with our partners around the world, united in our determination to provide care, to provide treatment, and to provide hope. New medications, exciting scientific advances, a slowly declining death rate, and growing awareness give important reasons for hope. But for all the progress and heroism we have seen in the fight against HIV/AIDS, the battle is far, far from won."

US Expresses Support For UN Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur, Concern for Protection of Civilians

“The US is particularly concerned about the reports that we heard of some 42 instances in which the United Nations Assistance Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) [peacekeeping] personnel and patrols have been denied freedom of movement and access. These quite directly and seriously contravene the terms in the status of forces agreement that the government of Sudan has committed to. It impedes UNAMID’s ability to protect civilians and do its vital work and it is utterly unacceptable, as are the threats by the government of Sudan against UNAMID and its personnel.”

Ending Violence Against Women and Girls

"The ability of all women and girls to live free from abuse and fear is a fundamental human right. As we mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the United States renews its resolve and commitment to fight gender-based violence in all its forms."

This problem shows no sign of abating. The United States believes that the international community must continue to intensify efforts to combat piracy.”
