- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the UN General Assembly resolution A/77/L.28 that major sports events “should be organised in the spirit of peace” and that “the unifying and conciliative nature of such events should be respected”.
- Answer
-
The UK attaches great importance to the principles of the UN Charter, including not to use force against the territorial integrity of other states. These principles must be defended. We agree on the importance of sports events for improving international relations, and have set out our position about when events are used to try to legitimise conflicts.
