Olympic Truce is the longest peace accord of all times, which lasted through more than 1,200 years of ancient history. A truce which has now been revived to offer hope and an opportunity for dialogue. To encourage and inspire all humanity to … imagine peace.

Its aim is to encourage nations to observe the Olympic Truce and to cease hostilities during the Olympic Games. Its hope is to inspire humanity, and create a much needed window of opportunity for dialogue and peaceful resolution of conflict. Its promise is the possibility of peace beyond the duration of the Games.

The International Olympic Truce Centre is an international non-governmental organisation, which operates within the framework of the Olympic movement.

Its mission is to promote the notion of the Olympic Truce and the Olympic Ideals, to serve peace and friendship and to cultivate international understanding by mobilizing the youth of the world in the prevention and resolution of tension through sport.
