treatment of diseases. In keeping with this strategy, UNICEF supports immunization programs for
childhood diseases and programs to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS; it also provides funding for
health services, educational facilities, and other welfare services. Since 1996 UNICEF programs have
been guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), which affirms the right of all
