The Secretary-General called the Games a desperately needed antidote to division. He said: “When we see so many conflicts around the world, we see the absolute relevance of having Olympic Games in which all countries are represented – even, unfortunately, some that are in a war situation – to have them all here and to show that peace is possible, that unity is possible, and that solidarity is possible. This fully justifies the strong commitment of the United Nations to support the International Olympic Committee.”
