- "Impunity -- the situation in which those accused of gross and systematic human rights violations or crimes against humanity are not charges, tried or punished, whether because of amnesty, pardon or deliberate inaction -- is a critical issue in international law today. It also raises profound moral and ethical issues. For the churches of the world the question is linked with theological convictions, pastoral concerns and often the experience of their own costly engagement in defense of human rights during periods of oppression and torture." -- back cover.

It is a compilation of historical, scientific and statistical material aimed at providing churches and their partners with a better understanding of the dynamics of HIV/AIDS as well as current information to aid in collaborative efforts at answering the challenge of the disease. ....
