Statement by the President and Founder of Peace and Sport

Nov 23, 2023 | News

Given that, for the first time, consensus was not reached to adopt the traditional United Nations Resolution on the Olympic Truce, Peace and Sport reaffirms the autonomy and neutrality of sports.

As a unifying force for dialogue and reconciliation among civil societies worldwide, sport must remain a universal and neutral platform, independent of political decisions, before, during, and after the Olympics.

The Monegasque organization reiterates the critical role of athletes, regardless of nationality, in promoting peace, as role models and sources of inspiration for young people.

Peace and Sport will continue to make every effort to ensure that, wherever and whenever possible, the neutrality of sport can be used to bring people together across all divides, with the aim of building a culture of peace through targeted programs and collective initiatives.
