One week to go

There is a week to go to the UN debate.

The draft resolution has been the subject of a lot of interest and intervention from delegations at the UN in New York during the past week, with Ambassador Al Hinai chairing meetings and working the phones to try to reach agreement on a text to put to the General Assembly. There have been some attempts at watering down key commitments, which so far we've managed to prevent, but we're still hopeful for a strong resolution.

There is also a growing sense of momentum, with many national Make Roads Safe campaign organisations working to alert their governments and NY delegations to participate in the debate and show support for efforts to reduce global deaths.

We'll keep you posted on any developments over the coming days.
