Published on 8/5/2008

By Stephen M. Apatow

Humanitarian Resource Institute is applauding current efforts to focus international attention on the Olympic Ideal as the theme for the 2008 Olympic Games in China. This theme is reflected in the following excerpt from a resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, 25 November 1997: 52/21: Building a peaceful and better world through sport and the Olympic ideal: "Reaffirming that the Olympic ideal promotes international understanding, particularly among the youth of the world, through sport and culture in order to advance the harmonious development of humankind, Noting with satisfaction the increasing number of joint endeavours of the International Olympic Committee and the United Nations system, for example in the fields of development, humanitarian assistance, protection of the environment, health promotion and education, in which the United Nations Development Programme, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Environment Programme, the World Health Organization and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization have participated." Goals to focus international attention on the global objective of grassroots citizen journalism and reporting "In Every Community, In Every Country" through the Rock The World 2008 campaign provides a new reference point for the Missions: Human Development Assistance Objective of the International Olympic Committee. ARTS INTEGRATION INTO EDUCATION "Promoting the arts as a vehicle for solution oriented strategic planning and development across the globe." "The world cannot respond, if the world does not know." -- Stephen Michael Apatow Note: The html enhanced release was posted on MySpace Music: www.myspace.com/apatow
