Key UN body endorses global MinisterialAn influential United Nations body has endorsed the Make Roads Safe campaign’s proposal for a UN global ministerial conference on road safety. The Inland Transport Committee of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) debated the proposal during its recent February session in Geneva, and endorsed the idea of holding such a conference in 2009. Governments represented at the ITC included most EU members, as well as Russia, Turkey and the USA. The proposal for a global ministerial conference was also recently supported by health and transport ministers from African countries meeting in Accra, Ghana. The Make Roads Safe campaign is calling on the UN General Assembly to approve the first ever UN global ministerial on road safety when it debates road safety in November 2007. |
