The Olympic Truce was an ancient Greek Truce in 776 B.C.under which athletes could pass safely between nations.The ancient spirit of "ekecheiria" has faded over time.But as the modern Olympic movement has grown,the Olympic truce has become an increasingly important part of the Olympic spirit In 1912,Pierre De Coubertin,the founder of the modern Olympic,proposed in the spirit of the ancient sacred truce that the 1916 games should be held in Berlin,where the war was fought,to avert the disaster.For more than half a century,there was no talk of a truce.It was not until the Barcelona games in 1992 that the IOC revived the concept of an "Olympic truce" and vigorously promoted the idea of truce for peace.In 1993,the United Nations general assembly adopted resolution 48/11,the Olympic truce,urging member states to observe the Olympic truce from seven days before the opening ceremony to seven days after the closing ceremony.In 2015,the UN's sustainability agenda again highlighted sport as an important driver of sustainable development.Over the years,the IOC has had a positive impact on international politics by seeking a way to resolve conflicts and promote peace.After 1993,the Olympic Games host congress submitted to the United Nations general assembly to review and adopt the Olympic truce resolution.This article mainly introduces the background of the ancient Olympic truce and the contemporary manifestation of the importance of the security of the truce guarantor.Although the truce resolution adopted by the United Nations adds international norms,the implementation of the truce varies from host country to host country,and different factors at the time of the Olympic Games also affect the implementation of the truce.Finally,it analyzes the reasons for the different implementation of truces in different countries and their impact on the development of the international community,and analyzes whether the "positive truces" brought by expanding the influence of truces can enrich the theory of promoting peace and development for sports.
