India Absent At Voting On UNGA Resolution On 'better World Through Sports'

By IANS News November 22, 2023 • 05:12 AM View: 1130

International Olympic Committee President Thomas: Two days after the Cricket World Cup final, India has absented itself from voting on a General Assembly resolution on sports promoting "understanding among peoples and nations".

Being absent during the voting on Tuesday does not amount to a formal abstention as it is not put on record.

The resolution, "Building a Peaceful and Better World through Sport and the Olympic Ideal", was adopted with 118 votes while only Russia and Syria formally abstained.
