Take the case of Syria. The people and groups one would normally count on to oppose wars have been the ones largely defending it. They have also often been the ones to label war opponents as “Assad apologists” or “genocide deniers”—causing them to be blacklisted.

    April/May 2009 Road Traffic Injuriesj ResearchResearch NetworkNetwork road research The Newsletter of the Road Traffic Injuries Research Network Message from the RTIRN Board Dear colleagues Welcome to another issue of Road Research. This issue importantly highlights the significant activities that are being undertaken by Network Partners, supported by our key funders, the World Bank’s Global Road Safety Facility. Without this support the Network would not be in a position to provide funds for our key outreach activities, namely the multicentre study, the fellowships for both junior and senior researchers, and to be announced later in the year, conference scholarships. We take this opportunity to congratulate the three recipients of our awards for senior researchers: Dr Clotilde Ubeda, from Argentina; Dr Rafael Consunji from the Philippines; and Dr Hamid Soori from Iran. As outlined later in this issue, each will spend time with a partner organization gaining further skills and experience that they will take back to their home countries at the completion of their sabbaticals. I would also like to welcome our new Board members: Professor Alfredo Celis from Mexico, Professor Ahmad Farhan Mohd Sadullah from Malaysia. As Partners would appreciate, Board members play a key role in the Network – with no reimbursement for their time – so we very much appreciate both their commitment and indirectly the support of their institutions in allowing them to take on this role. Lastly I would like to formally record our farewell and thanks to Maria Ali, who as you will all know has worked with the Secretariat in Pakistan since its establishment.
