Sport is a valuable vehicle to reach peace and development objectives, including health, education and gender equality, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said today at the third International Forum on Sport for Peace and Development in New York.
“By working as a team we can use the power of sport to build the peaceful, prosperous future we want,” Mr. Ban said
Mr. Ban highlighted various initiatives throughout the UN system, which have embraced sports as a way to reach their goals. For example, UN peacekeeping operations use sport as a tool for peace building and reconciliation.
Mr. Ban also drew attention to the close ties between the UN and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). “Peace, dignity, equality, justice, fairness […] a better world for all. This is what our two organizations stand for,” Mr. Ban noted the shared values between the Olympic ideals and the UN Charter.
