The list below includes all government commitments on SRHR since 1979, but does not include national nor regional commitments. Although it is accurate to say that not all 194 countries have signed all of these commitments, and that fewer yet have ratified them, it would point to a pre-occupation with making promises, from all stakeholders. AAI strongly pushes for all stakeholders to focus on programming and implementation and consider existing commitments sufficient.
