Abstract

- On February 24, 2022, a few days after the Closing Ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games and before the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games an armed conflict has started between Russia and Ukraine which was immediately followed by the condemnation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for failure to comply with the Olympic truce. Shortly thereafter, the Executive Board (EB) recommended preventing Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in international events to protect the integrity of sporting competitions and the safety of participants and, where this is not possible, to take all precautions to prevent those athletes from competing under the symbols of their nations. Given the exceptional circumstances that led to this recommendation, it was reiterated that for fairness no sanctions should be imposed on athletes, except in cases of active behavior in the decisions of their respective governments. On March 3, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has announced the non-admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes to the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Games. It will be concluded that, although these are decisions formally linked to reasons for the protection of athletes and competitions, they are not adequately accompanied by justifications that recall the principles of Olympism and may not be effective as a means of promoting peace.
