Liberia being a party to this all-significant document joins stakeholders universally to commemorate this day by calling for accelerating sustainable solutions to one of the world’s biggest challenges and helping to achieve the 50% road casualty reduction target.

The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims 2022 puts the spotlight on justice. Traffic law enforcement, thorough investigation after a crash to find out if a crime was committed and to prevent recurrence, criminal prosecution where appropriate, and civil compensation 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 main factor of prevention, and this would mean that lessons are learned from their tragedies so that they may not be repeated.
