标题：Accessing Rights and Protections Under the HIV/AIDS Management and Prevention Act in Papua New Guinea: Making a case for granting a limited jurisdiction to the Village Courts
摘要：In 2003 the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea (PNG) unanimously passed the
HIV/AIDS Management and Prevention Act (HAMP Act), although it was not
gazetted for commencement until 2004. The HAMP Act is a progressive piece of
legislation creating rights and responsibilities both for people living with HIV and
AIDS and for the general public. The passage of the Act was intended to create a legal
infrastructure to assist PNG to manage a disease which threatens to spread across the
country with catastrophic consequences.1
