Doping in Sport: UNESCO provides an international legal frameworkOn 19 October 2005, the 33rd session of the UNESCO General Conference unanimously adopted the International Convention against Doping in Sport. While this was a landmark occasion for UNESCO as a practical demonstration of its important role in international standard-setting, it has significant implications for the future of sport. The Convention provides a legal framework within which all governments can take action to remove doping from sport and further the harmonization of anti-doping efforts worldwide. How was the Convention developed? What duties does it lay on States? And above all, why is the international community as a whole concerned with doping in sport? This dossier gives an overview.
