This paper reflects on resolutions taken during the XIV International HlV/AlDS Conference in an attempt to link them with the role that the African continent may play in the fight against HIV/AIDS, The principles of'ubuntu', such as sharing of opportunities, responsibilities and challenges, participatory decision making and leadership, and reconciliation as a goal of conflict management, are used as the point of departure in assessing a range of key issues debated in the Conference.en© Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2007EpidemicUbuntuLeadershipReconciliationHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV)Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)HIV/AIDSUnited Nations programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)Postprint Article
