5)   이희범 조직위원장은 올림픽휴전이야말로 동계스포츠의 세계확산을 위한 새로운 지평을 열어주려는 조직위원회 관계자들의 헌신적 공약을 보여주는 것이라고 주장하였다고 합니다

8)   올림픽휴전은 평창2018출전 선수들 및 관람객들의 안전한 통행과 참가를 확고해 해 주는 것을 목표로 함(The Olympic Truce aims to ensure the safe passage and participation of athletes and spectators at February’s Olympic Winter Games in the Republic of Korea.)

 

9)   평창2018에 대한 UN회원국들의 확고한 신뢰의 징표로써 UN총회는 11월13일 본희의에서“스포츠와 올림픽이상을 통한 평화롭고 더 나은 세계건설”이란 타이틀의 결의안을 채택하여 주었으며 회원국들 간에 2시간에 걸친 열띤 논의가 뒤따랐음(In a strong sign of confidence of the Member States of the United Nations in the upcoming Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, the UN General Assembly today adopted the resolution “Building a peaceful and better world through sport and the Olympic Ideal” by consensus. It followed two hours of discussions between the Member States.)

 

10)올림픽휴전결의안 합치통과채택과정에는 향후(2020-2022-2024-2028) 올림픽개최국들인 일본-중국-프랑스-미국을 비롯하여 대한민국과 조선민주주의인민공화국이 포함되어 있음(The consensus for the Olympic Truce resolution included both the Republic of Korea and the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea as well as the future hosts of the Olympic Games: Japan, China, France and the United States of America.)

11)동 결의안은 세계국가들이 동계올림픽 時 올림픽휴전을 지킬 것을 촉구하고 있음-결의안 첫 번째 실효조항은 구체적으로 회원국가들이 동계올림픽 및 패럴림픽 대회 참가하는 선수들과 임원들 및 모든 다른 올림픽 등록카드 소지자들의 안전한 통행과 올림픽참여를 확고히 하도록 요청하고 있음-이러한 구체적 요구사항은 동계올림픽개최 시기와 장소를 고려할 때 특히 중요한 것임(The resolution calls on the nations of the world to uphold the Olympic Truce for the time of the Olympic Winter Games. The first operative clause of the resolution specifically asks Member States “to ensure the safe passage, access and participation of athletes, officials and all other accredited persons taking part in the Olympic Winter Games and Paralympic Winter Games”. This specific call is especially important, given the time and place of these Olympic Winter Games.)

12)동 결의안 채택 후, Thomas Bach IOC위원장은 “평창2018에 한데 모이는 선수들을 위하여 이 결의안은 특별히 의미심장함과 심층적인 개인적 중요성을 전달할 것임-올림픽휴전결의안통과로 UN총회는 모든 선수들이 평화롭게 출전할 수 있는 제반 조건들을 창출해 주고 있는 것임-오직 UN회원국가들만이 선수들에게 올림픽으로 가는 안전한 통로를 보장해 줄 수 있음-UN회원국들은 선수들이 일생일대 그들의 꿈을 성취할 수 있는 것이 가능하도록 해 주고 있는 것임”(Following the adoption of the resolution, IOC President Thomas Bach said: “For the athletes who will gather in PyeongChang for the Olympic Winter Games, this resolution will carry a special significance, a deeply personal one. With the Olympic Truce resolution, the United Nation General Assembly is creating the conditions for all athletes to compete in peace. Only the UN Member States can guarantee the athletes a safe passage to the Olympic Games. They make it possible for all the Olympic athletes to realise their dream of a lifetime.”)

13)Bach IOC위원장은 계속해서 다음과 같이 언급함: “올림픽선수들은 한날 한시 한 지붕 아래에서 모두 함께 평화롭게 살아가면서 서로 선의의 경쟁이 가능하다라는 것을 세계에 보여주고 있음”(He continued: “The Olympic athletes show the whole world that it is possible to compete with each other while living peacefully together under one roof at the same time.”)

14)H.E. Mr. Miroslav Lajčák UN총회의장은 자신의 연설문에서 다음과 같이 피력하였음 “올림픽과 UN은 같은 이상을 함께 열망하고 있음-이러한 열망은 인류애에 기반을 둔 이상임-그 내용은 전 세계 국가들의 수도에서 무슨 일이 일어나든 간에 사람들은 언제나 포용하고픈 마음과 연결하고픈 마음을 공유할 공간을 가지고 있을 것임” (In his remarks, the President of the United Nations General Assembly H.E. Mr. Miroslav Lajčák said: "The Olympic Games and the United Nations aspire to the same ideal. This is an ideal based on humanity. It says that, no matter what is going on in state capitals around the world, people will always have a space in which to engage and connect.")

15)동 결의안은 올림픽휴전이 2018년 2월 올림픽개막 7일 전부터 패럴림픽 폐막 7일 째 되는 날까지 준수되도록 촉구하고 있음-또한 대회기간 중과 그 이후에 대화와 화해를 도모하는 구체적인 행동을 촉진하고 장려하는데 스포츠를 활용하도록 이 기회를 잘 살리도록 권고하고 있음-동 결의안채택을 계기로 UN에서의 국제사회공동체는 더 나은 미래에 대한 희망을 주는 평화로운 경기를 지켜 보면서 세계를 한 군데 모이게 하는 스포츠의 힘과 올림픽의 연관성을 인식하고 있음(The resolution calls for the Olympic Truce to be respected from seven days before the start of the Olympic Games in February 2018 until seven days after the Paralympic Games, and to use this opportunity to harness sport to foster and encourage concrete action that promotes dialogue and reconciliation during the Games and beyond. By adopting this resolution, the international community at the United Nations recognises the power of sport and the relevance of the Olympic Games to bring the world together in peaceful competition, providing hope for a better future.)

16)동 결의안은 올림픽운동 조직 및 평창2018조직위원회를 대신하여 대한민국정부에 의해 정식으로 UN총회에 제출되었으며 이희범 POCOG위원장이 UN총회에 소개하였음(The resolution was formally submitted to the General Assembly by the Republic of Korea, on behalf of the Olympic Movement and the Organising Committee of the Olympic Games PyeongChang 2018 (POCOG). Lee Hee-beom, President of POCOG, introduced it to the General Assembly.)

17)대한민국 올림픽금메달리스트 겸 평창2018 홍보대사이기도 한 김연아 역시 UN총회장 단상에 올라 다음과 같이 보조 연설하였음: “평창2018대회가 전 세계 사람들을 하나로 결집시켜주는 힘을 발휘하는 몇 안 되는 언어이기도 한 우아하고 보편적 언어인 스포츠를 통하여 평화의 메시지를 전파하는데 도움이 될 것임을 굳게 믿고 있음”(Republic of Korea Olympic gold medallist and Honorary Ambassador for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2018 Yuna Kim also addressed the General Assembly and said: “I firmly believe the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will help spread the message of peace through one of the few languages that has the power to unite people around the world: the graceful and universal language of sport.”)

18)올림픽휴전 전통은 모든 적대행위 중단을 확고히 하고자 하는 데 그 취지를 두어 왔으며 이를 통해 올림픽에 참가하는 선수들과 관람객들로 하여금 안전한 통행과 참여를 허용해 주고자 하는 것임-그럼으로써 현재 올림픽은 희망과 평화의 상징인 것임-결의안은 올림픽가치인 평화와 단합과 존중이라는 개념이 3,000년 전 고대올림픽이 그리스에서 처음 개최되었을 때처럼 오늘날에도 전 세계에 걸쳐 그 중요성을 내포하고 있는 것임(The tradition of the Olympic Truce has been to ensure a halt of all hostilities, allowing the safe passage and participation of athletes and spectators taking part in the Olympic Games. Then as now, the Olympic Games are a symbol of hope and peace. The resolution reaffirms that the Olympic values of peace, solidarity and respect are as important across the world today as they were over 3,000 years ago, when the ancient Olympic Games first took place in Greece.)
