The United Nations places great importance on the power of sport to advance development, health, gender equality and productive contacts among people and nations. This event brings together the wonderfully diverse UN staff — men and women of all ages and positions, from numerous countries and cultures, of differing politics and sexual orientation, with responsibilities ranging from peacekeeping to administrative support. They bring to these Games the same traits — teamwork and mutual respect — that they show every day, around the world, in carrying their work as international civil servants. I thank the New York Co-ordination Committee for organizing this event and the staff for their support. I wish all the athletes great success and thank them for what I know will be impressive displays of sportsmanship and good will. Ban Ki-moon United Nations Secretary-General April 2014 NEW YORK 2014 3 WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE UNITED NATIONS It is an honor to greet all those who have gathered for the 41st United Nations Inter-Agency Games, held for the first time in New York on the campus of Hofstra University from the 23rd to the 27th of April 2014. The United States of America is proud to be the Host Country to the United Nations Headquarters in New York and also proud to welcome a unique gathering of members of the United Nations international civil service. I salute the important objective these games, which is to highlight the role that sport can play in individual development, promoting health and gender equality. The United Nations Inter-Agency Games represent the enduring spirit of the United Nations Organization and its staff as they conduct humanitarian, development, and peace operations all over the world, in the face of great challenges and often personal risk. I sincerely congratulate the athletes on their preparation, wish them great success, and trust that all participants and guests will have a memorable experience during their visit to the United States and the great city of New York. Sincerely, Samantha Power U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations 4 41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE Dear Friends, I am pleased to join all of you who have gathered to celebrate the success of the 41st United Nations Inter-Agency Games being held April 23rd through April 27th on Long Island. The United Nations Inter-Agency Games has developed over the years into an annual event to feature the best and most talented athletes in the world. Through the universal language of sport, individual staff members from all agencies and organizations of the United Nations system unite once a year to reaffirm their commitment to the dignity and worth of every person and this event provides the athletes who participate an opportunity to develop their skills and to enjoy the camaraderie and lasting friendships inherent in team sports. I wish to extend hearty congratulations to all of you who work toward forwarding the goals of this fine organization throughout the year. Best wishes for continued success in all your endeavors. Sincerely, Edward P. Mangano County Executive NEW YORK 2014 5 IAG NEW YORK COORDINATION COMMITTEE WELCOME STATEMENT The first UN New York athletes participated in the 14th Inter-Agency Games sponsored by the IAEA at Altmünster, Austria in 1985. At that moment, UNHQ staff acquired their passion for these Games and dreamed of hosting one day. The long-awaited 41st United Nations Inter-Agency Games have arrived in New York and we could not be more excited and honoured to welcome this respected gathering. The 41st Games has the largest participation we have seen in a few years. It is gratifying to see that changing the venue to the USA may have revitalized interest. Preparations for more than 1,000 worldwide staff competing in 14 disciplines is not an easy task. However, the Committee placed their confidence in one another, forcefully tackled the problems and pushed forward with commitment and determination. Our actions mirrored the very spirit of the Inter-Agency Games. We gather together, not just to participate in our favourite sports, but to show that every day UN staff all over the world face the most difficult challenges, often under grave and dangerous conditions, yet resolve those problems through teamwork and dedication. We are gratified to see all of our colleagues participating this year and we sincerely wish each of you success in the Games. Please be assured that we will do all we can to provide you with an enjoyable and memorable visit to New York.

WELCOME TO THE 41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES 23-27 APRIL 2014 • HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY 41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES VOLLEYBALL 8 41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES INTER-AGENCY GAMES GENERAL RULES 1. The purpose of the United Nations Inter-Agency Games (IAG) shall be to enable current and retired members of the agencies and organizations of the United Nations system and other eligible organizations to get to know each other through sports and other recreational activities and thereby to improve mutual understanding and work relations. The departments of Human Resources (HR) and the various staff bodies accept that staff participating in social and sporting activities contribute to the well-being of themselves as well as to both the organization and staff relations. Sports and other recreational activities develop team building and drive motivation, attributes which are conducive to forming future leaders who will be better able to fulfil the urgent jobs in times of stress. 2. The IAG shall be held yearly, preferably between 15 April and 15 May. The host organization, in consultation with the other participating organizations, shall decide on the venue and dates of the IAG. The host organization shall choose the disciplines, bearing in mind the number of teams participating from each organization, in each of the disciplines. Disciplines should only be included if at least four teams are available. No location for the IAG shall be considered if the UNSSS has designated the country, or any area within that country, a security risk. 3. Responsibility for the IAG during the tournament shall ultimately lie with the CC, which shall be preferably composed of one non-competing representative of each participating organization. Each competing organization may also nominate an alternate CC member who may also be a competitor. The CC should hold its first meeting before the opening of the IAG. It shall address any business put forward to it by the organizations´ representatives, the participating captains or the Secretariat. They may also pass on to the Secretariat any specific issue or group of issues to be worked on for them to report back to the CC before the next IAG. Each participating organization shall have the right to one vote. In the case of a tie the chairperson shall have the deciding vote. In such a case the chairperson´s organization/agency shall have two votes. 4. The CC shall approve, amend or reject any proposals put forward to it regarding the General or the Competition Rules or any modifications thereof. Any change or amendment to any rule or rules shall only enter into force at the beginning of the next IAG or immediately if the rule change(s) is approved before any games have commenced in that particular discipline. The adoption of any rule change or amendment shall require a simple majority of those CC members present at the time of the vote. The working language of the CC´s meetings and correspondence shall be English and/or French. The composition of any working group or committee including the Secretariat, which should meet outside the actual IAG, should all come from the same duty station. This is to ensure that they can meet on a regular basis and at the same time shall not incur any avoidable expenses. NEW YORK 2014 9 5. As one of the purposes of the IAG is to promote sporting competition between the staff of the organizations and agencies of the United Nations system, it would be desirable that each organization or agency provides a complete team from among their own staff members. However, in cases where this is not feasible, combined teams are permitted. The naming of such teams shall follow the principles of the “naming convention.” The creation of mixed teams, however, should not lead to the deliberate creation of a strong team. 5.1. A ll disciplines should play all other teams in their specific discipline. Only when the local infrastructure does not allow it or, because of the number of participating teams and the limited time available, this would be impossible then, and only then, should the discipline be formed into groups. It is the responsibility of the discipline coordinators to decide on the best approach depending on the given circumstances. 6. Participating organizations/agencies must normally be listed on the United Nations System document at www.unsystem.org. If not listed therein, the Secretariat will make its recommendation to the CC concerning eligibility of participation. 7. The Games shall be organized on a six-year cycle. They shall be hosted by an organization or combination of organizations from the following six duty stations and in the following order: Paris, Geneva, New York, Rome, Nairobi and Vienna. The IAG Secretariat shall solicit the commitment of the host organization(s) two years in advance. Should any of the six duty stations fail to commit, the IAG Secretariat shall call for competitive bidding from all participating organizations in order to have sufficient time to properly organize the Games. 8. The IAG official logo shall be used in all IAG matters, be it website, letterhead, publications, or other. The Organizing Committee may, if it so wishes, design its own logo to identify the year of the Games, and use it in addition to the official logo. 9. The host organization, in consultation with the Secretariat, will send out invitations to participate in the IAG to all eligible organizations and agencies at the latest four months prior to their commencement. The invitation shall include the location, date, list of disciplines and the various costs of participation with all the requisite deadlines for registration and payment. The host organization may stipulate the number of teams an organization may send per discipline taking into consideration factors such as availability of acceptable accommodation, sporting facilities available and costs. It will also ensure that any organization/agency with any outstanding bills is not invited to participate in any future Games until all bills have been settled. The CC maintains the right to reject the participation of individuals in accordance with the document “Penalties for Breach of Agreed Norms” located on the CC website (http://cc.interagencygames.org). 41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES 10 10. All cost of money transfers to the host organization must be covered by the payer. The host organization(s) may refuse to accept any registration after the specified deadline. Participants are obliged to accept the conditions of any package deal made by the host organization/agency; this shall be a pre-requisite of participation. It must also be stressed that the IAG is organized by volunteers without any financial reserves so the timely payment of all dues cannot be overemphasized. 11. Each organization wishing to participate in the IAG shall inform the host organization of the nominated disciplines it wishes to take part in at least two months prior to the start of the IAG. Seeding, when applicable, is done by the host organization based on the results of the previous IAG. 12. The host Organization shall ensure that: 12.1 participants and registered supporters arriving at the venue will be met and transported to their respective accommodations 12.2 t here is adequate free transport between the different sporting venues for both participants and registered supporters 12.3 there is adequate first aid facilities at the sporting venues 12.4 d octors and ambulances are available for emergency calls 12.5 a dequate physical security for all participants and supporters 12.6 t he organizers at the host venue take out adequate third party insurance to cover all participants and registered supporters 12.7 all playing facilities are of regulation size and quality 12.8 c opies of the relevant international and IAG specific rules are available for each discipline in English and French 12.9 t here are trophies and medals for the first three winning teams only1 (any discipline taking place with less than four teams will forfeit their right to a prize). The host organization may decide on a few exceptional individual prizes as deemed necessary. 12.10 the IAG package for the participants and supporters is arranged on the best terms possible, the payment of which shall be the responsibility of each organizing body 1 The Control Commission has no problems with individual disciplines awarding their own peers with individual achievement awards. However, these awards must be done within each discipline´s confines and the awards must be self financed. NEW YORK 2014 11 12.11 the CC has adequate office facilities to meet situated in a central location 12.12 there are qualified coordinators and referees for each discipline 12.13 t here is an opening and a closing ceremony with the official prize giving taking place at the closing ceremony 13. Each organization or agency shall draw up a legible list of its officials and players by discipline. The list shall be certified by the respective HR department, thereby verifying and confirming that all the participants named are eligible to participate according to the rules of participation. The original list shall be presented to the host organization on arrival at the IAG. 14. Any person of a participating organization or agency who has served under contract, including supernumeraries, for at least three months or who holds a contract of at least three months duration and, in either case, holds a contract effective at least one month before the IAG open and during their entire duration, is eligible for selection as a member of a team. Any person who has retired from any participating organization or agency is also eligible to participate in the IAG. 15. Staff from different duty stations of the same organization may compete in their own right, based on residency. 16. No individual may participate in more than one discipline. However, in order not to leave a team undermanned the Control Commission may waive this rule in the event of illness or accident. In the case of separate competitions for men and for women, no woman may play in the competition for men or vice versa unless prior approval has been obtained from the Control Commission. 17. Players may not swap teams, within the same discipline, without prior authorization from the Control Commission. 18. If an organization, for whatever reason, is disqualified then this should not affect the results of any mixed teams which may have players on their team from the disqualified organization. In this context the disqualified organizations´ name shall not be mentioned in any mixed team should they win a prize. 19. Anyone participating in a competition must hold an identity card with a photograph issued by an official body such as an organizational grounds pass, passport or national ID card or a driving licence. This identity card must be checked by the Coordinators responsible for each discipline before the first encounter. In case of dispute, the issue will be presented to the Control Commission for decision. 12 41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES 20. MEDICAL CERTIFICATES: If the host country or organization requires participants of any discipline to have a medical certificate then this must be complied with and is a prerequisite for participation. The format of the medical certificate shall comply with the requirements of the host country or organization. A note from a doctor or other medical practitioner stating that a person is fit for work does not constitute a medical certificate in the context of the IAG. The medical certificate must be checked by the Coordinators responsible for each discipline before the first encounter. Any person, at any time, whether planned or otherwise replacing a legitimate player in any discipline requiring a medical certificate must also have the same calibre of medical certificate in order to participate. If necessary the certificate should be obtained at the person´s own expense from a local qualified medical practitioner. This rule shall be strictly adhered to, there shall be no exceptions. 21. The final ranking of each team shall be determined in accordance with the procedures laid down in the relevant Competition Rules. NEW YORK 2014 13 RÈGLEMENT GÉNÉRAL DES JEUX INTER-ORGANISATIONS 1. Le but des Jeux inter-organisations des Nations Unies (JIO) est de permettre aux membres actuels et retraités des institutions et des organisations du système des Nations Unies et d’autres organismes admissibles de se rencontrer grâce au sport et autres activités récréatives et ainsi améliorer la compréhension mutuelle et les relations de travail. Les départements des ressources humaines et les différents organes représentants le personnel reconnaissent que la participation du personnel aux activités sociales et sportives contribue au bien-être de chacun ainsi qu’aux organisations et aux relations de travail. Le sport et autres loisirs permettent de développer l’esprit d’équipe et sont un moteur de motivation, des attributs qui sont propices à la formation des futurs responsables, qui seront ainsi mieux en mesure d’exécuter des tâches urgentes dans des situations de stress. 2. Les JIO ont lieu tous les ans, de préférence entre le 15 avril et le 15 mai de chaque année. L’organisation hôte, en consultation avec les autres organisations participantes, décide du lieu et des dates des JIO. L’organisation hôte choisit les disciplines en tenant compte du nombre d’équipes de chaque organisation participantes dans chacune des disciplines. Des disciplines ne seront incluses que si au moins quatre équipes représentant quatre organisations distinctes sont représentées. Un pays ne pourra accueillir les JIO si l’UNSSS l’a désigné, en entier ou seulement pour une région et indépendamment du niveau de risque, comme représentant un risque pour la sécurité. 3. Pendant la durée du tournoi, la Commission de contrôle (CC) est l’ultime instance responsable des JIO. La CC est composée, de préférence, d’un représentant non participant de chaque organisation participante. Chaque organisation participante peut aussi designer un membre suppléant de la CC, qui pourra aussi participer aux Jeux. La CC tient sa première réunion avant l’ouverture des JIO. Elle examine toutes les questions qui lui sont posées par les représentants des organisations, les capitaines participants et le Secrétariat. Elle peut aussi transmettre au Secrétariat tout sujet spécifique ou ensemble de questions pour que celui-ci procède à leur analyse et en donne les résultats à la CC avant les JIO suivants. Chaque organisation participante a une voix. En cas d’égalité de voix, la voix du Président de la CC sera déterminante. Dans un tel cas, l’organisation ou l’institution pour laquelle travaille le Président de la CC dispose de deux voix. 4. La CC approuve, modifie ou rejette toute proposition ou demande de modification qui lui est présentée concernant le Règlement général ou les règles de chaque discipline. Un changement ou une modification des règles n’entrera à la vigueur qu’au début des JIO suivants ou immédiatement si le(s) changement(s) de règle(s) est / sont approuvés avant que les épreuves de la discipline concernée aient commencé. L’adoption de tout changement ou modification des 14 41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES règles ne requiert qu’une majorité simple des membres de la CC présents au moment du vote. La langue de travail des réunions et de correspondance de la CC est l’anglais et / ou le français. Les membres de tout groupe de travail ou comité, y compris le Secrétariat, qui se réunissent en dehors de la période même des JIO, doivent tous avoir le même lieu d’affectation. Il s’agit de veiller à ce qu’ils puissent se rencontrer régulièrement et à ce qu’aucune dépense évitable ne soit encourue. 5. L’un des buts des JIO étant de promouvoir la compétition sportive entre les membres du personnel des organisations et institutions du système des Nations Unies, il est souhaitable que chaque organisation ou institution présente une équipe entièrement composée de ses propres membres du personnel. Toutefois, si ceci n’est pas faisable, les équipes mixtes sont autorisées. La dénomination de ces équipes doit suivre les principes des « Règles concernant la dénomination des équipes ». La création d’équipes mixtes ne doit toutefois pas conduire à la création délibérée d’équipes fortes. 5.1. T outes les disciplines doivent jouer contre toutes les autres équipes dans leur discipline spécifique. Ce n’est que lorsque l’infrastructure locale ne le permet pas ou, en raison du nombre d’équipes participantes et le temps disponible limité, ce serait impossible, dans ce cas la discipline sera formé en groupes. C’est la responsabilité des coordinateurs de discipline de décider de la meilleure solution selon les circonstances donnée. 6. Les organisations et institutions participantes doivent normalement figurer sur la liste du système des Nations Unies disponible à www.unsystem.org ou, si ce n’est pas le cas, le Secrétariat fera sa recommandation au Secrétariat concernant l’admissibilité de la participation. 7. Les Jeux sont organisés en cycles de six ans. Ils sont tenus par une ou plusieurs organisations des six lieux d’affectations et dans l’ordre suivant: Paris, Genève, New York, Rome, Nairobi et Vienne. Le Secrétariat doit solliciter, deux ans à l’avance, l’engagement de l’organisation ou des organisations hôte(s). Si l’un des six lieux d’affectation ne parvient pas à le faire, le Secrétariat convoquera des appels d’offres de toutes les organisations participantes afin d’avoir suffisamment de temps pour organiser les Jeux. 8. Le logo officiel des JIO est utilisé pour tout ce qui attrait aux JIO, que ce soit le site web, le papier à lettre, les publications, etc. Le comité organisateur pourra, s’il le souhaite, créer son propre logo qui servira à identifier l’année des Jeux et il pourra l’utiliser en sus du logo officiel. 9. L’organisation hôte, en consultation avec le Secrétariat, envoie les invitations de participation aux JIO à toutes les organisations et institutions éligibles au plus tard quatre mois avant le début des Jeux. L’invitation doit indiquer le lieu, la NEW YORK 2014 15 date, la liste des disciplines et les divers coûts de participation ainsi que les dates limite pour l’inscription et le paiement. L’organisation hôte peut spécifier le nombre d’équipes qu’une organisation pourra présenter par discipline, en prenant en considération des facteurs tels que la disponibilité de logements acceptables, les installations sportives disponibles et les coûts. Elle doit également s’assurer que toute organisation ou institution faisant état de factures impayées ne sera pas invitée à participer aux futurs Jeux tant que les factures n’auront pas été payées. La Commission de Contrôle se réserve le droit de refuser la participation d’individus en conformité avec le document « Penalties for Breach of Agreed Norms » qui se trouve sur le site Web de la Commission de Contrôle (http://cc.interagencygames.org). 10. Le payeur aura à sa charge tous les couts liés aux transferts d’argent à l’Organisation hôte. L’Organisation hôte pourra refuser d’accepter toute inscription faite après la fin des délais impartis. Une condition préalable à la participation est l’acceptation par les participants des conditions des offres de séjour faites par l’Organisation hôte. Il convient aussi de préciser que, les JIO étant organisés par des volontaires qui ne disposent d’aucune réserve financière, le paiement de toutes les sommes dues doit absolument être effectué dans les délais impartis. 11. Chaque organisation souhaitant participer aux JIO informe l’Organisation hôte, au plus tard deux mois avant le début des Jeux, des disciplines auxquelles elle souhaite prendre part. Si nécessaire, l’Organisation hôte procède à un classement des équipes ou des joueurs en fonction des résultats des JIO précédents. 12. L’Organisation hôte s’assure que : 12.1. les participants et les supporters enregistrés arrivant sur le lieux des Jeux sont accueillis et accompagnés dans leurs logements respectifs ; 12.2. d es moyens de transport adéquats et gratuits sont à disposition des participants et des supporters enregistrés pour se rendre sur les différents sites des épreuves sportives ; 12.3. d es installations de premiers soins adéquates sont disponibles sur les sites des épreuves sportives ; 12.4. d es médecins et des ambulances sont disponibles en cas d’urgence ; 12.5. d es moyens de sécurité adéquats sont en place pour protéger tous les participants et supporters ; 12.6. d es polices d’assurance responsabilité civile suffisantes ont été souscrites afin de couvrir tous les participants et supporters enregistrés ; 12.7. t ous les terrains de jeu sont de taille et de qualité réglementaire ; 16 41ST UNITED NATIONS INTER AGENCY GAMES 12.8. d es exemplaires des règlements internationaux et des règles spécifiques aux JIO sont disponibles pour chaque discipline, en anglais et en français ; 12.9. d es trophées et des médailles ne sont décernes qu’aux trois premières équipes (les disciplines pour lesquelles moins de quatre équipes sont participantes ne se voient pas décerner de prix). L’Organisation hôte pourra cependant décider de décerner, si nécessaire, quelques prix individuels exceptionnels ; 12.10. le séjour des participants et des supporters est organisé aux meilleures conditions possibles, le paiement étant à la charge de chaque organisation participante; 12.11. la CC dispose de bureaux convenables pour ses réunions et que ceuxci sont situés dans un emplacement central ; 12.12. d es coordonnateurs et des arbitres qualifiés sont disponibles pour chaque discipline ; 12.13. d es cérémonies d’ouverture et de clôture sont organisées, la remise officielle des prix ayant lieu lors de la cérémonie de clôture. 12.11 the CC has adequate office facilities to meet situated in a central location 12.12 there are qualified coordinators and referees for each discipline 12.13 t here is an opening and a closing ceremony with the official prize giving taking place at the closing ceremony 13. Chaque organisation ou institution établit une liste lisible de son personnel d’encadrement et de ses joueurs pour chaque discipline. Cette liste doit être certifiée par le département des ressources humaines concerné, qui vérifie et confirme que tous les participants nommés sont admissibles sur la base des règles de participation. La version originale de la liste est remise à l’Organisation hôte à l’arrivée aux JIO. 14. Tout contractuel d’une organisation ou d’un organisme participant, y compris les surnuméraires, qui ait travaillé pendant au moins trois mois ou qui ait un contrat d’une durée d’au moins trois mois et dont, dans les deux cas, le contrat est en vigueur au moins un mois avant l’ouverture des JIO et durant toute leur durée, peut être choisi comme membre d’une équipe. Toute personne retraitée d’une organisation ou d’un organisme participant peut aussi participer aux JIO. 15. Le personnel des différents lieux d’affectation d’une même organisation peut participer de façon autonome, en fonction de leur lieu de résidence. NEW YORK 2014 17 16. Aucun individu ne peut participer à plus d’une discipline. Toutefois, en cas de maladie ou d’accident, afin d’éviter qu’une équipe ne se retrouve en manque de joueurs, la Commission de contrôle pourra déroger à cette règle. Dans le cas d’épreuves distinctes pour les hommes et pour les femmes, aucune femme ne pourra participer à une épreuve pour hommes, ni inversement, à moins que la Commission de contrôle ait donné son accord au préalable. 17. Les joueurs ne pourront changer d’équipe au sein d’une même discipline sans autorisation préalable de la Commission de contrôle. 18. Si une organisation est disqualifiée, quelle qu’en soit la raison, ceci n’aura pas d’effet sur les résultats des équipes mixtes dont certains joueurs appartiennent à l’organisation disqualifiée. Dans ce cas, si une équipe mixte gagne un prix, le nom de l’organisation disqualifiée ne sera pas mentionné. 19. Toute personne participant à une épreuve doit être titulaire d’une pièce d’identité avec photographie délivrée par un organisme officiel, tel qu’une autorisation d’entrée dans les installations d’une organisation, un passeport, une carte nationale d’identité ou un permis de conduire. La pièce d’identité doit être vérifiée par les coordonnateurs responsables de chaque discipline avant la première rencontre sportive. En cas de litige, la question sera résolue par la Commission de contrôle. 20. CERTIFICATS MEDICAUX: Si le pays ou l’Organisation hôte demande aux participants d’une discipline d’être en possession d’un certificat médical, alors cette obligation doit être respectée et constitue une condition préalable à la participation. Le format du certificat médical doit être conforme aux exigences du pays ou de l’Organisation hôte. Un rapport d’un médecin ou autre professionnel de la santé attestant que la personne est apte au travail ne constitue pas un certificat médical dans le contexte des JIO. Le certificat médical doit être vérifié par les coordonnateurs responsables de chaque discipline avant la première rencontre sportive. Toute personne qui, à n’importe quel moment et que ce soit prévu ou non, remplace un joueur dans n’importe quelle discipline pour laquelle un certificat médical est exigé doit également présenter un certificat médical de la même teneur afin de pouvoir participer. Si nécessaire, le certificat devra être obtenu localement, aux frais de la personne concernée, auprès d’un professionnel de la santé dûment qualifié. Cette règle doit être strictement respectée, aucune dérogation n’y sera faite. 21.
