First United Nations Global Road Safety Week
To mark the start of the First United Nations Global Road Safety week
(23-29 April 2007) young road safety advocates from more than 100
countries convened in Geneva at a Youth Assembly for Road Safety to
discuss how youth could be more involved in road safety around the world
and adopt a Youth Declaration on Road Safety. WHO's Director-General, Dr
Chan, delivered the keynote address and messages of support came from UK
Prime Minister Tony Blair, President Lula da Silva of Brazil and the
musician Moby Hall. In addition, the Assembly served as an occasion to
launch a new WHO report entitled Youth and road safety. Also released
was a publication entitled "Faces behind the figures: voices of road
traffic victims and their families". Through out the week governments,
nongovernmental organizations, and their road safety partners seek to
raise awareness about the impact of road traffic deaths, injuries and
disabilities and promote action around the factors with the greatest
impact: helmets, seat-belts, drink-driving, speeding, visibility and
road design and infrastructure.

From 23-24 April, the first ever World Youth Assembly for Road Safety
was held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. The Assembly
served as the meeting place for nearly 400 young people from 100

for road safety in their countries, came together to share experiences
and ideas and identify ways to strengthen their road safety efforts at
home. The enormous enthusiasm and dedication these young delegates
brought to Geneva was palpable throughout the event. Included on the
programme were presentations of road safety initiatives involving young
people, a statement by Formula 1 driver Alexander Wurz, and the release
of 1049 balloons to pay tribute to the young lives lost on the world's
road every day. Working groups highlighted the work being done by youth
on road safety at national and local levels and ways in which delegates
can facilitate implementation of their Declaration, the crowning
achievement of the Assembly, and the tool around which the delegates are
planning follow up activities. In the closing ceremony the Declaration
was officially adopted, and Sheika Haya Rashed Al Khalifa, President of
the UN General Assembly, commented on its importance.
