UNESCO
In light of its mandate on education and commitment to the fundamental values underpinning sport, UNESCO has been deeply concerned about the erosion of ethics and the inequity created by the use of performance-enhancing drugs by athletes.
Entered into force on 1 February 2007 – becoming the most successful convention in the history of UNESCO in terms of the rhythm of ratification after adoption – the Anti-Doping Convention is now the second most ratified of all UNESCO treaties, with 191 States Parties.
The Convention helps to harmonize anti-doping legislation, guidelines, regulations, and rules internationally in order to provide a fair and equitable playing environment for all athletes.
UNESCO also helps to ensure the effectiveness of the World Anti-Doping Code(link is external) (the Code). As the Code is a non-governmental document that applies only to sports organizations, the Convention provides the legal framework under which governments can address specific areas.
Following the Third International Conference of Ministers and Senior Officials Responsible for Physical Education and Sport (MINEPS III - Punta del Este, Uruguay, 1999) and a Ministerial Round Table held at UNESCO in January 2003, the International Convention against Doping in Sport, drafted after consultations and meetings among representatives of nearly 100 countries, was adopted on 19 October 2005.
