Olympic Truce:

The Olympic truce was established in the days of the ancient Greek Olympics, dating back to the 9th century B.C. The truce was established so that athletes, families and ordinary pilgrims could travel safely to watch or participate in the games (“Olympic truce”, 2018).   The International Olympic Committee decided to revive the truce to protect the athletes and sport in general, and to encourage peaceful and diplomatic solutions to world conflicts (“Olympic truce”, 2018).
