2016 High Level Meeting on Ending AIDS is an annual United Nations meeting on HIV/AIDS.[1] It will mainly focus the public awareness on the significance of a fast-track approach to the AIDS response in the next five years. The ban of 11 LGBT organizations by 51 Muslim states caused protests by the United States, Canada, the European Union and LGBT communities. 57 countries including Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation requested the removal of LGBT associations in a letter giving no actual reason for it.[2][3]
