On 23 August 2013 at the United Nations Headquarters, New York, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 6 April as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace. This day will be celebrated each year by UN Member States and other partner organizations to honour the role that sport plays in society, whether by encouraging healthier lifestyles, making sport more widely accessible or using sport as a vehicle for development in areas made vulnerable by conflict, poverty and inequality. This decision marks an historic step in recognizing sport as a tool for development and peace. April 6th: Support International Day of Sport and Peace UN & IOC Initiative april6.org
