    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 47 (1) to make a Statement on a matter of general topical concern, namely, the International Day of Sports for Development and Peace (IDSDP). The International Day of Sports for Development and Peace (IDSDP) takes place annually on 6th of April. The day presents an opportunity to recognize the positive role sports and physical activity play in communities and in people’s lives across the globe. Sports has power to change the world. It is a fundamental right and a powerful tool to strengthen social ties and promote sustainable development and peace as well as solidarity and respect for all. Indeed, sports is ideally positioned to contribute towards the United Nations objective for development and peace. To raise awareness of this potential, 6th April was declared as the International Day of Sports for Development and Peace by the UN in its Resolution 67/296 establishing the day. In recognition of sports broad influence, the global theme this year is, “Securing a Sustainable and Peaceful Future for All: The Contribution of Sport,” which creates an opportunity for the day's celebrations to promote the use of sports as a tool to advance human rights and sustainable development."
