General Assembly Decides High-Level Meeting on Improving Global Road Safety Will Be Held in New York, 2022
Delegates Also Pass Text on Countering Hate Speech through Intercultural Dialogue
The General Assembly adopted two resolutions today pertaining to an upcoming high-level meeting on global road safety and to countering hate speech through the promotion of interreligious and intercultural dialogue, respectively, as delegates debated a draft amendment to the former resolution and sparred over the appropriate way to determine which non-governmental organizations will be able to participate in the 2022 high-level meeting.
The Assembly first considered the draft resolution titled Scope, modalities, format and organization of the high-level meeting on improving global road safety (document A/75/L.109), along with a draft amendment concerning the same (document A/75/L.114).
