On 2nd March 2010 the UN General assembly will discuss the next step towards more global road safety and hopefully adopt a new UN resolution on road safety. The resolution is based on the ´Moscow Declaration´ which was approved during the Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, held last November in Moscow.
The resolution is likely to call on Member States to declare 2011–2020 the “Decade of Action for Road Safety”. Its goal is to halt or reverse the increasing trend in road traffic deaths and injuries around the world. YOURS will attend the General Assembly and continue to lobby for more attention for the vulnerable position of young people in traffic.
The following two days the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration will meet and YOURS will present an update about the status of YOURS and her activities. Because we want to channel the voice of young people on a global level we are of course open for suggestions and your opinion. Please send us an email (info@youthforroadsafety.org) if you have an important message to the UN and her partners which we can communicate.
