Stephen Lewis is the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, a post he’s held since June 2001. He is also a Commissioner for the World Health Organization’s Commission on the Social Determinants of Health, ... a director of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which is dedicated to easing the pain of HIV/AIDS in Africa.

.... From 1995 to 1999, Mr. Lewis was Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF at the organization’s global headquarters in New York.

In 1997, in addition to his work at UNICEF, Mr. Lewis was appointed by the Organization of African Unity to a Panel of Eminent Personalities to Investigate the Genocide in Rwanda. The ‘Rwanda Report’ was issued in June of 2000.

In 1993, Mr. Lewis became coordinator for the international study — known as the Graça Machel study — on the “Consequences of Armed Conflict on Children”. The report was tabled in the United Nations in 1995.

From 1984 through 1988, Stephen Lewis was Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations. In this capacity, he chaired the Committee that drafted the Five-Year UN Programme on African Economic Recovery. He also chaired the first International Conference on Climate Change, which drew up the first comprehensive policy on global warming. [....]

And what did the UN achieve in Rwanda?

Americans, you might note who are described as "pre-Paleolithic neaderthals" practising "titular self-aggrandizement", among other things.

As usual, Lewis is anti-American and a powerful speaker -- which does not make him right. What has been the success rate with AIDS and the UN in Africa up to this point? Lewis wants money for AIDS in Africa in particular.

As I listen to Lewis at UBC, he is speaking of Darfur -- also of the sexual abuse of children in Africa (He hasn't mentioned the UN peacekeepers' part in this as yet.) -- a catalogue of crimes against humanity. What has the UN accomplished that should continue? That Canadians should continue to contribute to? He is now speaking of the Security Council and the Milennium Goals. Lewis is a barn burner for the same old gang.

I am listening to Lewis speaking of men's sexual behaviour which places the health of their wives at risk. He could start in Canada, with Toronto perhaps -- with those like the woman mentioned in the article above who contracted AIDS from her profligate with his seed--and his disease--partner. He could start by talking to our own girls in high school who need someone to get the reality of AIDS across to them. Respect for their own bodies and themselves is another lesson they need -- not the UN approach to choice and sexual health which euphemistically means freer access to abortion but no talk of self-control nor developing their minds instead of their sexual freedom.

My impression is that Mr. Lewis is suckering the young, particularly university students by engaging their emotions, not their minds. Where is the science? The statistics on what works? Much of what he mentioned have been UN failures. It seems we should be questioning the effectiveness of the UN rather than throwing more money at the same old problems.

You might note also that Lewis recommends that students write to the Prime Minister but especially to Industry Min. Emerson at whose expense Lewis makes more than one joke. He is politically active for the left and for CIDA. What had the Liberals set in place through CIDA which Lewis wants continued? More champagne socialism?
