              Violence, World Health Organization -- responsible for the 5-
              Year WHO Strategy for Road Traffic Injury Prevention -- will

              The World Traffic Safety Symposium, founded in 1990 was formed
              to address the growing concern of traffic injuries and
              fatalities on roadways.  Now celebrating its fourteenth year,
              the Symposium is dedicated to bringing automobile
              manufacturers, law enforcement officials, public and private
              organizations, and the media together to share information and
              discuss innovative ways to make traveling safer for drivers
              and pedestrians.  The annual presentation of the World Traffic
              Safety Achievement Awards has become an extremely prestigious
              event of the road safety calendar.

              The World Traffic Safety Symposium is a project of the Greater
              New York Automobile Dealers Association, held in conjunction
              with the New York International Automobile Show.
