GA Press Release Malaysia Declaration

Road crashes take over 1.25 million lives every year and are the main cause of death for 15–29 year olds and an additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled.
We, the world’s road safety and road victims’ NGOs, deem this to be an unacceptable loss of life and quality of life.
Now all countries in the United Nations have adopted road safety targets 3.6 & 11.2 in the Sustainable Development Goals, we urge governments, corporations, academia, our fellow NGOs and all stakeholders to act without delay to support and implement the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, and in particular the measures therein prioritized in WHO’s new SaveLIVES public health package.

We commit to implementing practical, evidence-based measures to improve road safety and post-crash response. We call upon every citizen to partner with us in our mutual efforts to reduce road dangers, to prevent death and serious injury on our roads, and to ensure support and justice for the bereaved and injured.

We urge governments to promote, adopt and implement road safety policies aiming at protecting the most vulnerable road users, together with all UN legal instruments, especially the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Road safety is a matter of human rights.
The time to act is now.
