A/69/340 against racism in sports by, among other things, educating the youth of the world through sport practised without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit (resolution 67/155, paras. 75 and 76). 30. The Intergovernmental Working Group on the Effective Implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action addressed the role of sport in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and r elated intolerance at its ninth session in 2012 (see A/HRC/19/77) and noted the potential of sport as a tool for the promotion of equality and diversity. The Working Group encouraged States, relevant stakeholders, in particular sport associations and committees, to ensure equality and non-discrimination based on combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance with regard to access to and use of sport facilities and services, job opportunities and career development (A/HRC/19/77, para. 111). The Working Group also noted the important role of sports players, sports authorities and other relevant bodies in contributing to awareness -raising campaigns on preventing and combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and reinforcing the message for the elimination of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance ( A/HRC/19/77, para. 115). It encouraged the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace and other relevant parts of the United Nations to engage with relevant international sporting bodies to discuss practical measures aimed at combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in sport, such as the development and promotion of codes of conduct against racism in sport and of internation al standards and certificates(A/HRC/19/77, para. 120). 31.

The Special Adviser has, in partnership with the International Olympic Committee, organized the International Forum on Sport for Peace and Development with the view of solidifying the support of various stakeholders in the fields of sport and sport for development and peace . 32. The fundamental principles of the Olympic Charter, the core document of the Olympic Games, place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind and peaceful relations among nations, enshrining the values of human understanding, friendship, tolerance, fair play and solidarity, and combating any form of racial intolerance and discrimination. 19 In accordance with the Code of __________________ 17 18 19 10/21 See http://www.un.org/wcm/content/site/sport/home/unplayers/special_adviser (accessed 30 July 2013).
