     Extractions: 29 October 2004 General Assembly Decides to Launch International Year for Sport (2005) on 5 November, Assesses Follow-Up to Special Session on Children NEW YORK, 27 October (UN Headquarters) The General Assembly will launch the International Year for Sport and Physical Education (2005) on 5 November, following the adoption today, without a vote and as orally amended, of a resolution on sport as a means to promote education, health, development and peace. He called on States that had not done so to prepare or strengthen such plans. In doing so, they should cooperate with civil society actors working with children. It was also important to involve children, as they had a right to be taken into account in matters affecting their own lives. And while many speakers from the developed countries outlined ambitious national programmes that had been implemented to address the needs of their children, primarily in the areas of health care and education, a large majority of them also pointed to constraints such as lack of resources, inadequate assistance, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, poverty and conflicts, categorically stating that those were all burdensome factors, which impeded the most well-intentioned efforts. Statements were also made by the representatives of Togo, Costa Rica, Cuba, Barbados (on behalf of the Caribbean Community), Kenya, South Africa, United States, Malaysia, Ecuador, Myanmar, Namibia, Peru, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Belize, Congo, Kazakhstan, Jamaica, Canada, Syria, Uganda, Viet Nam, India, Eritrea, Nigeria, Iran and Armenia.

The Assembly took that action after concluding its joint debate on sport for peace and development and a culture of peace.  Also by the terms of the text, the Assembly stressed the need for all parties to cooperate closely with international sports bodies to elaborate a “code of good practice”.  It also invited governments to accelerate the elaboration of an international anti-doping convention in all sports activities, and asked the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in cooperation with other relevant international and regional bodies, to coordinate the elaboration of such a convention.

     Extractions: Dernier num©ro en ligne :  Num©ro 6/7 (2004) L e m©tissage est commun©ment d©fini dans les sciences sociales comme le m©lange de cultures en contact aboutissant   une synth¨se nouvelle rep©rable par l'apparition de traits culturels in©dits et par le maintien de caract©ristiques traditionnelles ou nouvellement emprunt©es. Les pratiques corporelles et sportives se pr©sentent comme un excellent laboratoire de recherche de ce brassage de cultures dont il importe de saisir les formes ©mergentes et leurs significations, sans pour autant ªtre aveugle aux distinctions ou aux diff©renciations dont elles permettent les expressions. Saisir le corps et le sport dans ces axes pluriels permet de questionner d'un point de vue anthropologique les relations entre les cultures dans des dimensions identitaires, id©ologiques et politiques.
