The Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011—2020) was established by UN General Assembly Resolution 64/255 (2010) to accelerate coordinated international action aimed at reducing the number of deaths due to road traffic injuries. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has recently reiterated this priority by setting a target for 50% reduction in road traffic deaths and injuries by 2020. The Decade of Action provides a framework for key activities that governments, international agencies, civil society organizations and other stakeholders can use to guide their efforts, see http://www.who.int/roadsafety/decade_of_action/en/. Central to the framework are five “pillars” that address a range of road safety aspects, including vehicles, roads and road users. This document addresses pillar 5: the post-crash response.
