"Organised by Oman's Ambassador to the UN, Fuad Al-Hinai, the Technical Briefing was used to drive home hard facts: 3000 people are killed on the world’s roads every day and greater effort is needed from the international community. ... Ambassador Al-Hinai, who has won approval from the UN General Assembly for a Resolution which calls for action to counter a 'Global road safety crisis,' pointed out that the topic of road safety had been largely ignored by the international community.
