The United Nations has called on all countries to honor the Olympic Truce during the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, urging a halt to conflicts and the fair treatment of all athletes. The resolution, adopted by consensus at the United Nations General Assembly, highlights the importance of using the games as a platform for peace, dialogue, and reconciliation. International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry emphasized the need to keep politics separate from sports and not to deny visas to athletes based on their nationality. The call comes amid recent controversies, including the denial of visas to the Israel gymnastics team by Indonesia and repeated violations of the Olympic Truce by Russia in past years.
