As Kofi Annan noted in his September 19th statement welcoming UNITAID: "I am pleased that...the Clinton Foundation will be actively involved" in this initiative.
An example is the pool established by the international partnership Unitaid to provide HIV patients in developing countries with access to affordable anti-retroviral drugs.
As Secretary General Kofi Annan noted on the occasion of UNITAID's launching, the French, Chilean, Norwegian, Brazilian and British governments have been responsible for this initiative.
What is particularly worrying is that UNITAID's seemingly unobjectionable disease-relief program will simply be the first of many purposes to which the UN hopes to apply globotaxes.
This is why we hope that organizations like UNITAID, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Clinton Foundation will help fund her work and similar projects in the coming years.
It is being billed as a "tax for Third World medicine" and the funds it will generate will ostensibly be used to help finance a new UN agency (dubbed UNITAID) being created as an international drug purchasing facility.
