En el 2013 la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), proclamo el 6 de abril como el Dia Internacional del Deporte para el Desarrollo y la Paz, en conmemoración de la fecha en la que se celebraron los I Juegos Olímpicos de la Era Moderna en Atenas, Grecia y que fueron inaugurados por el Rey Jorge I en el estadio Panathinaiko.

El Dia Internacional del Deporte para el Desarrollo y la Paz (IDSDP) es una verdadera ocasión para destacar y promover el rol del deporte en el fomento de la paz, la inclusión social y el desarrollo sostenible a la vez que se invita a las diferentes organizaciones a compartir perspectivas, planes y reflexiones por el impacto del deporte en sus respectivas comunidades y áreas de trabajo.

Es con motivo del Dia Internacional del Deporte para el Desarrollo y la Paz, la organización Peace and Sport de la que el Príncipe Alberto II de Monacó es su patrono, lanzo la campaña #WhiteCard desde su sede en Monacó.
La #Whitecard es una campaña digital mundial creada por Peace and Sport para celebrar el Día Internacional del Deporte para el Desarrollo y la Paz ya que sostener una Tarjeta Blanca , como un arbitro, es una acción que simboliza el gran poder positivo del deporte a nivel mundial.
La World Judo Federation se integro plenamente a la actividad con su Comité Ejecutivo, Cuerpo Técnico y países afiliados en los diferentes continentes.

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. – As a true tradition, every April 6th we celebrate the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace. It began in 2014, so we are now in its twelfth year.
In 2013, the United Nations (UN) proclaimed April 6th as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, in commemoration of the date on which the First Olympic Games of the Modern Era were held in Athens, Greece, and inaugurated by King George I at the Panathenaic Stadium.
The most important objective of this day is to raise public awareness about the role of sport in promoting human rights and the social and economic development of countries. This year’s theme is: Leveling the Playing Field: Sport for Social Inclusion.
The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP) is a true opportunity to highlight and promote the role of sport in fostering peace, social inclusion, and sustainable development, while inviting various organizations to share perspectives, plans, and reflections on the impact of sport in their respective communities and areas of work.
On the occasion of the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, the organization Peace and Sport, of which Prince Albert II of Monaco is patron, launched the #WhiteCard campaign from its headquarters in Monaco.
#Whitecard is a global digital campaign created by Peace and Sport to celebrate the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, since holding a White Card, like a referee, is an action that symbolizes the great positive power of sport worldwide.
The World Judo Federation is fully involved in the activity with its Executive Committee, Technical Staff, and affiliated countries on different continents.
