DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/60/5)\n\n\n\n	The Global status report on road saf
	ety\, launched by WHO in December 2018\, highlights that the number of ann
	ual road traffic deaths has reached 1.35 million. Road traffic injuries ar
	e now the leading killer of people aged 5-29 years. The burden is dispropo
	rtionately borne by pedestrians\, cyclists and motorcyclists\, in particul
	ar those living in developing countries.\n\n\n\n	The report also indicates
	 that progress to realize Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 3.6 
	– which calls for a 50% reduction in the number of road traffic deaths b
	y 2020 – remains far from sufficient.\n\n\n\n	More than half of all road
	 traffic deaths are among vulnerable road users: pedestrians\, cyclists\, 
	and motorcyclists. Pedestrians\, cyclists\, and riders of motorized 2- and
	 3-wheelers and their passengers are collectively known as \"vulnerable ro
	ad users\" and account for half of all road traffic deaths around the worl
	d. A higher proportion of vulnerable road users die in low-income countrie
	s than in high-income countries.\n\n\n\n	Origins and significance of the D
	ay\n\n	Since the adoption of the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic
	 Victims\, pursuant to General Assembly resolution 60/5\, the observance h
	as spread to a growing number of countries on every continent.\n\n\n\n	The
	 Day has become an important tool in global efforts to reduce road casualt
	ies. It offers an opportunity for drawing attention to the scale of emotio
	nal and economic devastation caused by road crashes and for giving recogni
	tion to the suffering of road crash victims and the work of support and re
	scue services.\n\n\n\n	A dedicated website was launched to make the Day mo
	re widely known and to link countries through sharing common objectives an
	d the remembrance of people killed and injured in crashes.\n\n\n\n	In Sept
	ember 2020\, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/74/299 \"Imp
	roving global road safety\"\, proclaiming the Decade of Action for Road Sa
	fety 2021-2030\, with the ambitious target of preventing at least 50% of r
	oad traffic deaths and injuries by 2030. WHO and the UN regional commissio
	ns\, in cooperation with other partners in the UN Road Safety Collaboratio
	n\, have developed a Global Plan for the Decade of Action.\n\n\n\n	Also\, 
	to highlight the plight of children on the world’s roads and generate ac
	tion to better ensure their safety\, the UN organizes the Global Road Safe
	ty Week.\n\n\n\n	Remember. Support. Act.\n\n	The objectives of the World D
	ay of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims are to provide a platform for r
	oad traffic victims and their families to:\n\n\n\n	remember all people kil
	led and seriously injured on the roads\;\n\n	acknowledge the crucial work 
	of the emergency services\;\n\n	draw attention to the generally trivial le
	gal response to culpable road deaths and injuries\n\n	advocate for better 
	support for road traffic victims and victim families\;\n\n	promote evidenc
	e-based actions to prevent and eventually stop further road traffic deaths
	 and injuries.\n\n	The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims 2
	022 puts the spotlight on justice. Traffic law enforcement\, thorough inve
	stigation after a crash to find out if a crime was committed and to preven
	t recurrence\, criminal prosecution where appropriate and civil compensati
	on are all part of the justice system. When carried out seriously\, fairly
	 and consistently\, such a system is what road crash victims who have been
	 injured or had a family member killed as the result of someone’s law–
	breaking or negligence deserve and wish for\, since it also represents a m
	ain factor of prevention and this would mean that lessons are learnt from 
	their tragedies so that they may not be repeated.\n\n
