Every two years humanity watches in awe as the people of the world unite in friendly competition at the Olympic Games. It’s a truly inspiring spectacle leaving us all thinking ... why can’t it always be like this? Imagine peace ...

And this is the reason why the Games were first held in 776 BC in ancient Olympia. 
To allow warring Greek city states to set aside conflict, to celebrate togetherness, to experience peace inspired by sport, to imagine peace ...

This is the Olympic Truce. An ancient tradition. A peace accord 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. Encouraging and inspiring all humanity to ... imagine peace.
