Message from the President of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge After Lausanne in 1996 and Paris in 2000, Marrakech hosted the 3rd World Conference on Women and Sport, from 7 to 9 March 2004, on the theme “New strategies, new commitments”. I wish to thank the Moroccan political and sporting authorities, especially the Moroccan National Olympic Committee, for the warm welcome given to the 600 participants from five continents representing the IOC, the International Sports Federations, the National Olympic Committees, the Olympic Games Organising Committees as well as inter- et non-governmental organisations. For almost 10 years now, under the masterful leadership of Anita L. DeFrantz, the IOC Women and Sport Working Group, which this year became a fully-fledged Commission, has been working untiringly to implement programmes to enable women and girls the world over to feel fully involved in the universal movement to promote women in and through sport. The 12 recommendations adopted at the end of this Conference offer a guarantee of more equal opportunities for women in the sports world, be it as athletes or leaders. As it has done in the past, the IOC will continue striving to ensure that women occupy the position they deserve within the Olympic Movement. It will pursue its efforts to increase the number of women competitors in the Olympic Games, hoping that future editions of the Games will have as many female as male athletes. Our ultimate goal is to achieve equal participation by men and women - 7 - 1.2. Message from the Chairperson of the IOC Women and Sport Commission, Anita DeFrantz For the first time, the World Conference on Women and Sport was held on the African continent, in the city of Marrakech (Morocco) from 7 to 9 March 2004. As Chairwoman of the IOC Women and Sport Commission, I have the pleasure to convey my sincere thanks to the Moroccan Olympic Committee and my IOC colleague Nawal El Moutawakel for their warm welcome and close cooperation for the smooth running of this Conference. Morocco is a country in which, for some years, women have played an increasing role in all areas of society and particularly in sport. The IOC has made women’s participation in sport as athletes or leaders one of its major concerns. The practice of sport – whether in competition or amateur sport – and the values that such practice brings with it are important tools for communication, education and emancipation, thus favouring the social integration of all human beings, men and women alike. Placed under the theme “New Strategies, New Commitments”, this third edition was made a success thanks to the active participation of

    Sports, Race, and Politics: the Olympic Boycott of Apartheid Sport

    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2017 Volume VIII, Spring 2017 ISSN 2153-1714 Sports, Race, and Politics: The Olympic Boycott of Apartheid Sport Matt Bersell Western Illinois University In the article “Hitting Apartheid for Six? The Politics of the South African Boycott,” Douglas Booth writes that during the second half of the twentieth century, the international community regarded the South African government as a “pariah” due to its racially restrictive apartheid laws that denied equal economic, political, and social rights to the nation’s nonwhite majority. According to Booth, “foreign governments, multinational corporations, churches, the media, campaign groups, and individuals” increasingly condemned apartheid and joined international actions against the South African government through organized boycotts, sanctions, and embargoes.1 One specific form of international solidarity was the movement against apartheid sport which resulted in South Africa’s suspension from the 1964 and 1968 Olympic Games and its eventual expulsion from the premier international athletic competition in 1970. As a result of its commitment to racial segregation in sport and the exclusion of blacks from international competition, South Africa was not allowed to participate at the Olympics until 1992.2 Through the historical examination of the relationship between sports, politics, and race, it is evident that the boycott of South African sports, specifically the ban levied by the International Olympic Committee, had significant political and social ramifications. Sports, Politics, and Race Despite countless attempts to separate the two fields, sports and politics have been linked since ancient times.3 Barrie Houlihan finds the “the interweaving of sport and politics” at the international, national, and regional/local levels.4 According to Roger I.

Lieser is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Los Angeles and the 1984 Olympic Games: Cultural Commodification, Corporate Sponsorship, and the Cold War by Josh R. Lieser Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in History University of California, Riverside, December 2014 Dr. Catherine Gudis, Chairperson The 1984 Olympics offer an unprecedented opportunity to consider the way that sports were used as cultural and ideological warfare or soft power in the late stages of the Cold War era. Despite the Soviet Union’s decision to boycott the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics were a claimed “victory” by President Ronald Reagan in the Cultural Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Los Angeles won the right to host the games, and was a politically prudent choice for the United States within the context of the Cultural Cold War. The complicated history of Los Angeles and its constructed post-WWII identity are important elements to the choice of Los Angeles as host city. The Soviet boycott of the 1984 Olympic Games by the Soviet Union is central to the buildup to 1984, but due to the financial success of the Games the Soviet absence was not the crisis that many predicted.

    Harnessing Human Rights to the Olympic Games: Human Rights Watch and the 1993 “Stop Beijing” Campaign Barbara Keys The Journal of Contemporary History 53, no. 2 (2018): 415-38 doi: 10.1177/0022009416667791 Author accepted version As each quadrennial Olympic Game approaches, host countries come under intense global scrutiny. In recent years, a familiar pattern has developed: human rights organizations and other pressure groups campaign loudly about human rights problems, especially but not only when the host city is in an undemocratic country, and the resulting controversies are now a routine feature of the dramatic build-up to the festival. Before the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, a global debate erupted over China's long list of political prisoners, suppression of religious minorities, support of Sudan’s genocidal campaign in Darfur, and brutal treatment of Tibetan nationalists. Leading up to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games, the global media highlighted Russia's anti- gay ‘propaganda’ law and its hostile climate for LGBT rights.1 The International Olympic Committee has been forced to respond by paying lip service to human rights issues. In its Olympic Agenda 2020, adopted in late 2014, it copied language from the Article 2 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights into its Charter’s revised non-discrimination clause, and it has inserted vague human rights provisions in future host-city contracts.2 Human Rights Watch (HRW) has been at the forefront of campaigns to leverage the Olympic Games into human rights-promoting enterprises, in ways that have had profound but unrecognized effects on the global human rights movement.
