IOC Welcomes United Nations’ Appeal To Observe Olympic Truce During Paris 2024
United Nations General Assembly: With just one month to go for the start of the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris, the chief of the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday made a solemn appeal to the UN Member States for the observance of the Olympic Truce. The President of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Dennis Francis, on Tuesday called on all warring parties around the world to agree to “true mutual ceasefires” for the duration of the Truce.
The resolution for the observance of the Olympic Truce for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 was formally adopted by the UN in November last year, calling for the Olympic Truce to be respected from seven days before the start of the Olympic Games until seven days after the Paralympic Games.
“I solemnly appeal to all Member States to demonstrate their commitment to the Olympic Truce for the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games and to undertake concrete actions at the local, national, regional and world levels to promote and strengthen a culture of peace and harmony based on the spirit of the Truce,” said UNGA President Francis.
