Human Rights Perspective<\/h3>\n

Protection of citizens\u2019 lives on roads is a shared responsibility of the state, transport operators, and drivers. Enforcement of traffic laws, driver training, vehicle monitoring, and accountability of those responsible for negligence are essential to safeguarding the fundamental right to life. Providing justice and appropriate relief to families affected by road accidents is also an important part of protecting human rights.<\/p>\n
