In October of 2009 the United Nations (UN) General Assembly accepted the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) application for Permanent Observer status. This is an honour usually reserved for non-Member States and intergovernmental organisations; very rarely do non-governmental organisations (NGOs) obtain this position. The position enables the IOC to directly influence General Assembly policy decisions. This paper examines how the IOC was able to obtain such a unique status when other NGOs have had their applications rejected, and asks: what does this appointment mean for the involvement of broader civil society at the UN? The paper argues that there are various factors at play that have influenced the relationship between a global sports organisation and an international development organisation, including the neoliberalisation of development, the global power of sport, and processes of legitimation for both the IOC and the UN.

The Olympic Games is unquestionably the largest and most important sporting event in the world. Yet who exactly is accountable for its successes and failures? This book examines the legitimacy and accountability of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This non-governmental organisation wields extraordinary power, but there is no democratic basis for its authority. This study questions the supremacy of the IOC, arguing that there is a significant accountability deficit. Investigating the conduct of the IOC from an international legal perspective, the book moves beyond a critique of the IOC to explore potential avenues for reform, means of improving democratic procedures and increasing accountability. If the Olympics are to continue to be our most celebrated sporting event, those who organise them must be answerable to the citizens that they can potentially harm as well as benefit. Full of original insights into the inner workings of the IOC, this book is essential reading for all those interested in the Olympics, sport policy, sport management, sport mega-events, and the law.

Provides informative and fascinating material on many aspects of what Olympism is all about: its history, its organization and its actors. As public attention is often drawn to the athletes and the scandal, the Olympic System as such is relatively little known.

This report views sport in a broad sense as in all forms of physical activity that contributes to physical fitness, mental well-being and social interaction. It looks at the potential contribution that sport can make towards achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and its growing role in United Nations programmes. Its chief finding is that well designed sport based initiatives are practical and cost effective tools to achieve objectives in development and peace.
